Product Description
Review
"In a career spanning over half a century, Alasdair MacIntyre has earned a prominent place among the most influential philosophers in recent times...These collections of essays meet the objective that MacIntyre sets as the goal of philosophical enquiry: they send the reader back into the world, invigorated and eager to revisit the questions regarding the ends of life."

Product Description
Alasdair MacIntyre is one of the most creative and important philosophers working today. This volume presents a selection of his classic essays on ethics and politics collected together for the first time, focussing particularly on the themes of moral disagreement, moral dilemmas, and truthfulness and its importance. The essays range widely in scope, from Aristotle and Aquinas and what we need to learn from them, to our contemporary economic and social structures and the threat which they pose to the realization of the forms of ethical life. They will appeal to a wide range of readers across philosophy and especially in moral philosophy, political philosophy, and theology.

First Sentence
A systematic history of Aristotelianism would be an immense undertaking populated by a great variety of rival Aristotles: Theophrastus's, the Aristotle of the Neoplatonists, a whole range of medieval Aristotles - Farabi's, ibn Rushd's, Maimonides's, Aquinas's - and after them an equally impressive set of Renaissance Aristotles, followed by Coleridge's, Thomas Case's, and the whole variety of twentieth-century Aristotles from Werner Jaeger to Terence Irwin and beyond.
