Lecture by Canon David Carpenter
Alisadair MacIntyre 1929- (Yes, he is 93) wrote After Virtue in 1981. It was, and continues to be a highly controversial text. The most contentious of his ideas is the rejection of European Enlightenment thinking which proposed a universalist approach to morality, arguing that moral principles can be established by reason. This approach led to the development of, amongst other examples, universal codes and treaties which should be used to guide the moral conduct of communities. MacIntyre proposes a return to Aristotelian virtues which arise from communities rather than the use of external moral principles used to shape them. In a nutshell, universalism is rejected in favour of community relativism.
