Description
MacIntyre’s After Virtue at 40 is a comprehensive collection celebrating four decades of intellectual impact from Alasdair MacIntyre’s groundbreaking 1981 work. This Cambridge Philosophical Anniversaries volume brings together leading scholars to assess how After Virtue has shaped contemporary philosophy, ethics, and moral discourse.
The essays examine MacIntyre’s critique of modern moral language, his virtue ethics framework, and his influential genealogical method. Contributors explore the book’s enduring challenges to liberal individualism, its recovery of Aristotelian ethics, and its implications for philosophy of practice. The collection also addresses criticisms and developments in MacIntyre’s thought over the past four decades.
Essential for philosophers, ethics scholars, and anyone engaged with virtue ethics, this anniversary volume demonstrates why After Virtue remains a touchstone for moral philosophy and continues to provoke debate about the nature of human flourishing and ethical community.
