What marks this collection is the unusual range of approaches and perspectives, representing divergent and even contradictory positions. Such variety reflects MacIntyre's own intellectual trajectory, which led him to engage successively with various schools of thought: analytic, Marxist, Christian, atheist, Aristotelian, Augustinian, and Thomist. This collection presents a unique profile of twentieth-century moral philosophy and is itself an original contribution to ongoing debate. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume begins with Alasdair MacIntyre's fascinating philosophical self-portrait, \"On Having Survived the Academic Moral Philosophy of the Twentieth Century,\" which charts his own intellectual development. The first group of essays considers MacIntyre's revolutionary contribution to twentieth-century moral philosophy: its value in understanding and guiding human action, its latent philosophical anthropology, its impetus in the renewal of the Aristotelian tradition, and its application to contemporary interests. The next group of essays considers the complementary and competing traditions of emotivism, Marxism, Thomism, and phenomenology. A third set of essays presents thematic analyses of such topics as evolutionary ethics, accomplishment and just desert, relativism, evil, and the inescapability of ethics. MacIntyre responds with a final essay, \"What Next?\" which addresses questions raised by contributors to the volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fran O'Rourke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Notre Dame Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 508\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.8lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.27h x 6.39w x 1.26d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780268037376","brand":"University of Notre Dame Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46021891293321,"sku":"9780268037376","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_ecae27a5-bb64-49bd-87d5-f7e1046bae3e.jpg?v=1777409034","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/what-happened-in-and-to-moral-philosophy-in-the-twentieth-century-philosophical-essays-in-honor-of-alasdair-macintyre-9780268037376","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
