To flourish, humans need to develop virtues of independent thought and acknowledged social dependence. In this book, a leading moral philosopher presents a comparison of humans to other animals and explores the impact of these virtues.
Alasdair MacIntyre is one of the foremost ethicists of the past half-century. He makes a sustained argument for the centrality, in well-lived human lives, of both virtue and local communities of giving and receiving. He criticizes the mainstream of Western ethics, including his own previous position, for not taking seriously the dependent and animal sides of human nature, thereby overemphasizing the powers of reason and the pursuit of reason and the pursuit of autonomy.
The book is published by Open Court Publishing Company. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.
"This important work in ethics is essential for the professional philosopher and is highly readable for students at all levels and for thoughtful citizens." (CHOICE)
