This volume provides a thorough introduction to three of the
twentieth century’s most influential proponents of Aristotle’s
moral philosophy. Arthur Madigan’s Contemporary Aristotelian
Ethics examines the work of Alasdair MacIntyre, Martha Nussbaum,
and Robert Spaemann in the context of twentieth-century
Anglo-American moral philosophy. By surveying the ways in which
these three philosophers appropriate Aristotle, Madigan illustrates
two important points: first, that the most pressing problems in
contemporary moral philosophy can be addressed using the
Aristotelian tradition and, second, that the Aristotelian tradition
does not speak with one voice. Madigan demonstrates that
Aristotelian moral philosophy is divided on important issues, such
as the value of liberal modernity, the character and provenance of
our current moral landscape, and the role of nature in
Aristotle’s ethics. Through his examination of MacIntyre,
Nussbaum, and Spaemann, Madigan offers a vision for the future of
Aristotelian moral philosophy, urging today’s philosophers to set
a clear educational agenda, to continue refining their concepts and
intuitions, and to engage with new conversation partners from other
philosophical traditions.
