Contact Us Philosopher of the Month October 2002 - Alasdair MacIntyre Matthew Ray Alasdair MacIntyre is one of the most innovative philosophers writing in untechnical English today. A prolific author, his writings include influential articles on modern philosophy and on philosophical theology as well as monographs on Marcuse and on the concept of the unconscious in the writings of Freud, together with a now standard text on moral thinking, A Short History of Ethics . But it is for 1980's After Virtue and the texts that followed in its wake - Whose Justice, Which Rationality? Three Versions of Moral Enquiry and more recently Dependent Rational Animals - that MacIntyre is probably most celebrated. I shall therefore spend the rest of this article situating MacIntyre by outlining the position argued for in the text that inaugurated that specific trajectory of thought. The main goal of After Virtue , and it is a goal motivated by Nietzsche's persuasive attack on morality (but pursued by MacIntyre with an Aristotelian detachment), is to provide us with a good reason for acting morally today. He does so by introducing his notion of a 'practice'. Practices, MacIntyre tells us, are found in some form or other across all human cultures and in a sense constitute goals for human desire. But what are practices? His technical definition of a practice runs as follows:

   Extractions: News 23rd January 2008 The ECtHR: Ensuring Access to Justice and Effective Redress? The fourth seminar in the HRSJ seminar series For more than half a century Alasdair MacIntyre has remained a fervent critic of the structural injustices of capitalism. Indeed, nothing could be further from the truth than the all too frequent mischaracterisation of his mature ethical thought as a form of communitarian conservatism. From Marxism: An Interpretation through his essays for the New and Trotskyist lefts of the 1950s and 1960s to After Virtue and subsequent texts, MacIntyre has attempted to articulate and defend a form of politics that is adequate to the needs of radical opponents of liberalism in our modern world. In his recent works, MacIntyre has attacked the contradiction between the Aristotelian idea of people as they could be if they realised their telos and, on the other hand, capitalism's systematic thwarting of people's abilities to reach their potentials. To this he has added that radicals need to articulate a 'politics of self-defence' rooted in practices that challenge the instrumental reasoning of state bureaucracy and capitalist management. MacIntyre's thought constitutes a challenge to a range of ideologies hostile to the Aristotelian tradition. His adoption of Thomistic thought, along with his emphasis on virtue ethics, has provided the foundation for a much needed re-examination of the sources of moral and political philosophy. His commitment to realism highlights relativism's limits and contests the idea that morality and politics are matters of mere social consensus. As he says in prefacing Ethics and Politics, 'theoretical resources ... from Aristotle, Aquinas, and Marx, need to be put to work both in negative critique and in articulating the goods and goals of particular political and social projects'.

   Extractions: Alasdair McIntyre "The Story-Telling Animal" NOTE: This reading is not in the current edition of your text. It will be handed out in class. Before looking at MacIntyre, let's sum up what we've got to this point. A. Perry dialogue Focus is on the SOUL theory of identity; that who you are is determined by your individual soul. PROBLEMS: The immateriality of the soul makes is difficult to explain the connection between the soul and the self. Since all evidence about who you are is tangible and physical (whether it be bodily continuity, continuity of memory, continuity of psychological states, etc.), how is this to provide evidence for an intangible soul? B. Locke Memory theory of identity...who you are depends upon consciousness of your present and past states of consciousness. PROBLEM: Thomas Reid's "Gallant Officer" objection how can the young boy punished for stealing apples be identical with the officer decorated for bravery, and the officer be identical with the general at retirement, but the young boy NOT be identical with the general? Also, the Lockean circle (that you must pre-suppose your identity to determine what are genuine and what are apparent memories, which is itself essential to determining who you are, which requires distinguishing genuine from apparent memories, etc.) It is not (as Locke supposes) that identity depends upon memory, but just the reverse; memory (to be verified as genuine) depends upon identity.

    Extractions: Alasdair MacIntyre - Virtue Ethics revisited The key work to know about, dears, is "After Virtue". In this work, MacIntyre throws a left hook at the whole emotivist (I'll explain this term later) way of looking at morality. He chooses to look at philosophy within its historical context. That is, linking philosophies to the time in which they were developed, in order to gain a picture of the history and development of ideas. He does not like what he sees. The result, claims MacIntyre, is that too many modern philosophers have divorced their work of philosophising from the real world around them. They are quibbling about semantics (study of words) whilst the World Trade Centre burns. And talking of that, this is a good example of the way in which emotivism has permeated societal thinking, particularly in the secular nations. The correspondence of the Radio 4 PM programme the day after terrorists destroyed the WTC taking 6,000 or so people with them, consisted almost entirely of people saying that America had brought the disaster on itself. This depersonalizing of the action of the terrorists, for it was an action whose consequences were directed

    Extractions: Political Philosophy of Alasdair MacIntyre This article focuses on Alasdair MacIntyre’s contribution to political philosophy since 1981, although MacIntyre has also written influential works on theology, Marxism, rationality, metaphysics, ethics, and the history of philosophy. He has made a personal intellectual journey from Marxism to Catholicism and from Aristotle to Aquinas , and he is now one of the preeminent Thomist political philosophers. The most consistent and most distinctive feature of MacIntyre's work is his antipathy to the modern liberal capitalist world. He believes that modern philosophy and modern life are characterized by the absence of any coherent moral code, and that the vast majority of individuals living in this world lack a meaningful sense of purpose in their lives and also lack any genuine community. He draws on the ideal of the Greek polis and Aristotle's philosophy to propose a different way of life in which people work together in genuinely political communities to acquire the virtues and fulfill their innately human purpose. This way of life is to be sustained in small communities which are to resist as best they can the destructive forces of liberal capitalism.

    Extractions: Advanced Search world in which these moral philosophers flourish is a world that has lost its moral bearings in an unprecedented way. A Canticle for Leibowitz , MacIntyre imagines a series of environmental disasters turning the public violently against the natural sciences: Widespread riots occur, laboratories are burnt down, physicists are lynched, books and instruments are destroyed. Finally a Know-Nothing political movement takes power and successfully abolishes science teaching in schools and universities, imprisoning and executing the remaining scientists. Later still, there is a reaction against this destructive movement and enlightened people seek to revive science, although they have largely forgotten what it was. But all that they possess are fragments: a knowledge of experiments detached from any knowledge of the theoretical context which gave them significance; parts of theories unrelated either to the other bits and pieces of theory or to experiment; instruments whose use has been forgotten; half-chapters from books, single pages from articles, not always fully legible because torn and charred. Nonetheless all these fragments are reembodied in a set of practices which go under the revived names of physics, chemistry, and biology. Adults argue with each other about the respective merits of relativity theory, evolutionary biology, and the phlogiston theory, although they possess only a very partial knowledge of each. Children learn by heart the surviving portions of the periodic table and recite as incantations some of the theorems of Euclid. Nobody, or almost nobody, realizes that what they are doing is not natural science in any proper sense at all. For everything that they do and say [used to] conform to certain canons of consistency and coherence; [but now] those contexts which would be needed to make sense of what they are doing have been lost, perhaps irretrievably.

MacIntyre, in this work, is also tracing the history of our inability to justify our ethical claims in this day and age, but he traces the problem back to the failure of the enlightenment project to find a rational basis for morality (think of Descartes, Mill, Hume, Kant, et al. ), instead of tracing it to the onset of atheism as I have done in these blog entries. Anyone who already knows something of the history of ethics from Descartes through the present day can probably already see what he means by the failure of the enlightenment project. If not, you can get a better summary from his book than I could ever hope to write. I believe that my project here is similar to MacIntyre’s in After Virtue Here’s why it all starts with Luther. So long as the Catholic Church and the European monarchies held the power in Europe, they also controlled education and access to spirituality, because the common people couldn’t read or understand the Latin which was used in the

    Extractions: LU-Announce Moral philosophers are caught in a peculiar paradox these days. On the one hand, their field is flourishing: No longer intimidated by the logical positivists (who denied truth to moral assertions except as expressions of likes and dislikes), thinkers as diverse as Iris Murdoch, Martha Nussbaum, and Bernard Williams are leading the attack against such debilitating philosophical notions as Hume's notorious "Is/Ought" distinction and Kant's simplistic fusion of morality with mere duty. On the other hand, the world in which these moral philosophers flourish is a world that has lost its moral bearings in an unprecedented way. The philosopher most attuned to this paradox is Alasdair MacIntyre, and his analysis goes furthest, I think, in explaining why the twentieth century is so uniquely appalling. His work is not necessarily the best moral philosophy now being written-Iris Murdoch, for one, may offer a rival philosophy he would find difficult to answer-but his analysis of our moral paradox is so acute that he, perhaps uniquely among contemporary philosophers, offers the possibility of its solution.

He confronts the Stalinist with attitudes that in many ways deserve our respect - and yet there is something acutely disquieting about him. I am not speaking now, of course, of those who exchange the doctrines of Stalinism for those of the Labour Party leadership, the Congress for Cultural Freedom or the Catholic Herald. They have their reward. I mean those whose self-written epitaph runs shortly, ' I could remain no longer in the Party without forfeiting my moral and intellectual self-respect; so I got out.' (A. H. Hanson, An Open Letter to Edward Thompson, N.R. No. 2, p.79.) They repudiate Stalinist crimes in the name of moral principle; but the fragility of their appeal to moral principle lies in the apparently arbitrary nature of that appeal. The ex-communist had, by acquiescing in liberal morality, exchanged “one dominant pattern of thought for another; but the new pattern gives them the illusion of moral independence.” For the Stalinist, objective laws were to be found in the historical process, into which morality could be conveniently deliquesced. For the liberal, no such laws existed. Morality could be no more grounded in history than football could be grounded in astrophysics. Only the individual voice mattered, and from there all moral claims radiated, acquiring greater or lesser consensus. “Here I stand. I can do no other.” The critic in this way authorises herself to criticise, but at the cost of reducing the moral claim to arbitrariness. Thus:

Which Rationality? by Alasdair MacIntyre, Notre Dame: University of Notre Dame Press, 1988. 410 pp., index This is an important book, a book with which Muslims, in particular, need to become acquainted. The author, Alasdair MacIntyre, is one of the most profound and most controversial moralists and social thinkers of our time. The book, Whose Justice? Which Rationality?, is not an easy work. It requires some familiarity with various details of Western culture, in particular its moral and political philosophies. So, rather than merely summarize the work, I will try to show why I think it is important for Muslim thinkers to read and criticize it. For this purpose I begin with a general discussion of the work's importance in the context of MacIntyre's other writings, and then turn to two of the major topics discussed in the work, relativism and liberalism. Finally, I offer some humble criticisms of my own, and suggestions for further research. Of all those who have stood against the currents of modernism, Alasdair MacIntyre stands out as the philosopher who has offered the most profound critique. His
