Book synopsis

This book is a study of Alasdair MacIntyre's virtue§project. MacIntyre is placed in the context of the§virtue tradition he seeks to recover; special§attention is paid to Aristotle and Aquinas, both of§whom are important resources for MacIntyre. This§study then highlights key developments in the history§of ethics and explains the rise of the Enlightenment§and the displacement of the virtue tradition.§MacIntyre's influential critique of the Enlightenment§is outlined before a summary of his own virtue§project is detailed. The author then surveys and§responds to key critiques of MacIntyre's work and§ends with an examination of what MacIntyre's project§means to the church. This book provides a useful§introduction and summary of MacIntyre's project which§will be valuable to anyone interested in MacIntyre or§the revival of virtue ethics.
