Alasdair MacIntyre
The contribution to contemporary philosophy of Alasdair MacIntyre is incon-
testably enormous. His writings on ethics, political philosophy, the philosophy
of religion, the philosophy of the social sciences, and the history of philosophy
have established him as one of the philosophical giants of the last fifty years. His
best-known book,
After Virtue
(1981), spurred the profound revival of virtue
ethics. Moreover, MacIntyre, unlike so many of his contemporaries, has exerted
a deep influence beyond the bounds of academic philosophy.
This volume focuses on the major themes of MacIntyre’s work, with crit-
ical expositions of MacIntyre’s views on the history of philosophy, the role of
tradition in philosophical inquiry, the philosophy of the social sciences, moral
philosophy, political theory, and his critique of the assumptions and institutions
of modernity.
Written by a distinguished roster of philosophers, this volume will have an
unusually wide appeal outside philosophy to students in the social sciences, law,
theology, and political theory.
Mark C. Murphy is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Georgetown
University.
Contemporary Philosophy in Focus
Contemporary Philosophy in Focus
offers a series of introductory volumes
to many of the dominant philosophical thinkers of the current age. Each vol-
ume consists of newly commissioned essays that cover major contributions of
a preeminent philosopher in a systematic and accessible manner. Comparable
in scope and rationale to the highly successful series
Cambridge Companions
to Philosophy,
the volumes do not presuppose that readers are already inti-
mately familiar with the details of each philosopher’s work. They thus combine
exposition and critical analysis in a manner that will appeal to both students
of philosophy and professionals as well as students across the humanities and
social sciences.
