Since its publication in 1981, Alasdair MacIntyre's After Virtue
has been recognised as a classic. Primarily a work of moral
philosophy, it also draws on sociology, classics, political science
and theology to effect a unique intellectual synthesis, and its
combination of erudition and challenging, even provocative argument
has made a significant impact throughout the humanities
disciplines. This volume of new essays unpacks the influence of
After Virtue on ethical and political theory, sociology and
theology, and offers a multi-faceted exploration of its
significance. The essays offer a way into MacIntyre's philosophy,
and demonstrate how, rather than waning in influence over the past
forty years, his most seminal text has found an ever-wider audience
and continues to inspire controversy and debate in the humanities.
