このコンテンツについて
This episode kicks off a series on the philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre's 1981 book After Virtue. After Virtue is one of the most successful academic press books of the 20th century and was widely read by those outside professional philosophy and even among the general public. This book significantly contributed to the revival of Virtue Ethics, calling into question the dominant moral theories of its day. MacIntyre claimed that modernity ushered in an age of moral confusion and ultimately argues for the retrieval of Aristotelian virtue ethics.
In this episode, I consider the book as a whole. I discuss what MacIntyre means by 'virtue' and also identify precisely the main target of the book.
I recorded this episode about a week before the news of MacIntyre's passing. He was 96. I release it now two days later in honor of arguably the 20th century's most important moral philosopher.
