Tradition in the Ethics of Alasdair MacIntyre: Relativism, Thomism, and Philosophy

Christopher Stephen Lutz

Tradition in the Ethics of Alasdair MacIntyre presents a stimulating intellectual history and expertly reasoned defense of this towering figure in contemporary American philosophy. Drawing on interviews and published works, Christopher Lutz traces MacIntyreAIs philosophical development and refutes the criticisms of the major thinkers - including Martha Nussbaum and Thomas Nagel - who have most vocally attacked him. Permanently shifting the debate on MacIntyreAIs oeuvre, Lutz convincingly demonstrates how MacIntyreAIs neo-Aristotelian ethical thought provides an essential corrective to the contemporary discussions of relativism and ideology, while successfully drawing on the objectivity of Thomistic natural law.
