Description

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 returnsto an earlier strand of ethical thinking, that of Aristotle, who emphasised the importance of 'virtue' to the ethical life.
