Product Details
- Highly controversial when it was first published in 1981, Alasdair MacIntyre's After Virtue has since established itself as a landmark work in contemporary moral philosophy. In this book, MacIntyre sought to address a crisis in moral language that he traced back to a European Enlightenment that had made the formulation of moral principles increasingly difficult. In the search for a way out of this impasse, MacIntyre returns to an earlier strand of ethical thinking, that of Aristotle, who emphasised the importance of 'virtue' to the ethical life. More than thirty years after its original publication, After Virtue remains a work that is impossible to ignore for anyone interested in our understanding of ethics and morality today.

Ethics & Morality Editorial Review
**Editorial Review of "After Virtue (Bloomsbury Revelations)"** "After Virtue" by Alasdair MacIntyre is a pivotal work in moral philosophy, and this edition presents it in a format that is accessible to both new and seasoned readers of MacIntyre's thought. Readers have repeatedly noted the powerful argumentation and engaging writing style that challenges contemporary moral discourse. The text's deep dive into the legacy of virtue ethics has resonated with many, offering a compelling critique of modern moral frameworks and providing a fresh perspective based on Aristotelian ethics. Customers have particularly praised the clarity of MacIntyre's insights, as well as his ability to connect philosophical concepts to practical ethics. Many have found the book thought-provoking, prompting them to reflect on their own moral beliefs and the state of societal values. This intimacy with the reader's own moral compass is a striking feature of MacIntyre's work that has led to numerous discussions and debates inspired by its content. Some readers pointed out that while the philosophical jargon can be dense at times, the rewards of engaging with the text far outweigh the challenges. They appreciate that the book is not merely an academic exercise but instead invites readers to grapple with real-world implications of philosophical principles. MacIntyre's strong critique of emotivism and his call for a return to virtue ethics has made a significant impact on those looking for deeper moral guidance in an increasingly fragmented ethical landscape. Overall, "After Virtue" is lauded as a seminal text that is both intellectually rigorous and deeply relevant, fostering valuable dialogues about morality and virtue in contemporary society. **
