Description
After Virtue: A Study in Moral Theory, Third Edition by Alasdair MacIntyre. First published in 1981, this influential work has had a profound impact on moral philosophy. Now in its third edition, the University of Notre Dame Press is pleased to release an updated version of After Virtue, featuring a new prologue that reflects on the book's enduring themes and arguments. In this seminal study, Alasdair MacIntyre examines the historical and conceptual roots of virtue, diagnosing the reasons for its absence in personal and public life. He offers a tentative proposal for its recovery, arguing that a different tradition - one rooted in Aristotle's classical thought - is necessary to understand both the genesis and predicament of moral modernity. This edition retains MacIntyre's central theses, which he has refined and supplemented in his subsequent works. The Third Edition prologue provides a fresh perspective on the book's core ideas, demonstrating that MacIntyre remains committed to his original arguments despite significant intellectual development.
