Le philosophe Alasdair #MacIntyre est mort le 22 mai dernier. Entre Hegel et Thomas d'Aquin, Trotsky et Saint Benoît, il restera un des plus puissants antidotes à l'abstraction de la philosophie morale contemporaine.

Remembering Alasdair MacIntyre (1929-2025)

wordonfire.org/articles/rememb

For more than seven decades, Alasdair #MacIntyre was a prolific and provocative philosopher. The author of more than two hundred scholarly articles and more than twenty books, MacIntyre’s best known work, After Virtue, was described in 1981 by Newsweek as “a stunning new study of ethics by one of the foremost moral philosophers in the English-speaking world.” Conventional wisdom had offered the bare alternatives of Kantian duty based ethics and utilitarian consequentialist ethics. Echoing themes found in Elizabeth #Anscombe’s “Modern Moral Philosophy,” After Virtue revolutionized the field by reintroducing virtue ethics as a viable alternative and by calling into question modern moral philosophy as an attempt to make sense of the shards left over from the shattered premodern synthesis of Athens and Jerusalem.

Just finished Chapter 3 and getting a great deal out of John Gregson's "Marxism, Ethics and Politics: The Work of Alasdair MacIntyre".

(Quote below from MacIntyre's 1960 work "Breaking the Chains of Reason".)

#philosophy #MacIntyre

Not by manipulation of people so that they will move in some direction that we desire, but by helping them to move where they desire. The goal is not happiness, or satisfaction but freedom. And freedom has to be both means and end. The mechanistic separation of means and ends is suitable for human manipulation, not for human liberation. (MacIntyre 1960a, p. 163)
