TEXT

  • MacIntyre, A. (1984). After virtue. Notre Dame, IN: University of Notre Dame Press.
    • This article is found in the Chapter 6 Readings section in the Appendix of your primary text. This work was largely responsible for reviving interest in Aristotelian or virtue conceptions of ethics, and includes a powerful critique of modern moral philosophy and contemporary culture. Chapters 14 and 15 discuss the importance of the virtues for attaining certain goods internal to “practices,” and which are a core feature of a flourishing life, the importance of virtue for a “narrative unity” to one’s life, and the place that tradition has in our understanding of how to live well.
