We live in a time of moral confusion: many believe there are no
overarching moral norms, and we have lost an accepted body of moral
knowledge. Alasdair MacIntyre addresses this problem in his
much-heralded restatement of Aristotelian and Thomistic virtue
ethics; Stanley Hauerwas does so through his highly influential
work in Christian ethics. Both recast virtue ethics in light of
their interpretations of the later Wittgenstein's views of
language. This book systematically assesses the underlying
presuppositions of MacIntyre and Hauerwas, finding that their
attempts to secure moral knowledge and restate virtue ethics, both
philosophical and theological, fail. Scott Smith proposes
alternative indications as to how we can secure moral knowledge,
and how we should proceed in virtue ethics.
