After Virtue by Alasdair MacIntyre [SUMMARY]

Описание: This video provides a basic summary of Alasdair MacIntyre's famous philosophy book, After Virtue. The book examines our current moral landscape and it's faults, seeing a culture which explains right and wrong simply as a result of our emotional attitudes. This philosophy of emotivism arose as a result of the Nietzschean rejection of an ethics based on rationality, which in turn arose due to an enlightenment era rejection of teleology or purpose for human life. MacIntyre advocates for a return to a teleological view of human life, a view that incorporates a practice, a moral tradition, and a narrative. Specifically, the narrative of your individual life, found within the narrative of others, the narrative of history, the narrative of society, etc. To quote MacIntyre directly:

“We enter upon a stage which we did not design and we find ourselves part of an action that was not of our making. Each of us being a main character in his own drama plays subordinate parts in the dramas of others, and each drama constrains the others.”
