परिचय

Published in 1981, the book opens with an image: imagine that the natural sciences had been destroyed and later pieced together from fragments whose context had been forgotten. That, MacIntyre claims, is the condition of modern moral language – which is why moral disputes seem interminable and morality looks like the expression of preferences, as emotivism holds. The Enlightenment project of justifying morality without a shared idea of the human good was bound to fail. MacIntyre reconstructs an Aristotelian tradition of the virtues, defined through social “practices”, the narrative unity of a human life and living traditions. The book became a central text of the communitarian critique of liberalism, although MacIntyre rejected that label.
