Alasdair MacIntyre (Contemporary Philosophy in Focus) by Mark C. Murphy (PDF)

Description

The contribution to contemporary philosophy of Alasdair MacIntyre is enormous. His writings on ethics, political philosophy, philosophy of religion, philosophy of the social sciences and the history of philosophy have established him as one of the philosophical giants of the last fifty years. His best-known book, After Virtue (1981), spurred the profound revival of virtue ethics. Moreover, MacIntyre, unlike so many of his contemporaries, has exerted a deep influence beyond the bourns of academic philosophy. This volume focuses on the major themes of MacIntyre’s work with critical expositions of MacIntyre’s views on the history of philosophy, the role of tradition in philosophical inquiry, the philosophy of the social sciences, moral philosophy, political theory, and his critique of the assumptions and institutions of modernity. Written by a distinguished team of philosophers, this volume will have a wide appeal outside philosophy to students in the social sciences, law, theology, and political theory.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Alasdair MacIntyre, edited by M. Murphy, arrived in perfect conditions, and just in time. I’m preparing a Seminar on MacIntyre’s Ethics and the critical expositions of MacIntyre’s view, which I am reading now, are fundamental to my work. These essays focuses the main themes of MacIntyre’s thought, from which emerged the mature position in After Virtue project. This exactly the issue I am interested in. Murphy’s introduction is a very good synthesis of MacIntyre’s intellectual itinerary. Highly recommended.
