This is a concise guide to MacIntyre's most important book, "After
Virtue", examining its arguments in detail and placing it within
the broader context of MacIntyre's career. "After Virtue" is a
watershed in MacIntyre's career. It follows his emergence from
Marxism, but draws on Marxist sources and arguments. It precedes
his move to Thomism, but already draws on Augustine and Aquinas.
Because of its watershed nature, it has gained a wide readership in
various fields but it treats a variety of issues in ways that are
unfamiliar either to Marxists schooled in the social sciences or to
Thomists schooled in medieval metaphysics. "Reading Alasdair
MacIntyre's After Virtue" provides a commentary that will be
accessible to students, valuable to scholars, and useful to
teachers. Students will find help to navigate the two main
arguments of "After Virtue", to understand its interpretation of
history, and to engage its proposal for a form of ethics and
politics that returns to the tradition of the virtues. Scholars
will find the book useful as a general guide to MacIntyre's ethics.
Teachers will find a book that can help to direct their students'
reading and keep classroom discussions focused on the book's
central concerns.
