Publisher Summary 1
When he read a collection of his early work (Against the Self-Image of the Age: Essays in Ideology and Philosophy), postmodernist MacIntyre (philosophy, U. of Notre Dame) found he had come to a turning-point in his thinking. It is apparent from this collection, taken from his writings from 1972 to 2002, that he took his reflections on Kuhn and Lakatos to heart, reformulating his thought on Aristotelian-based moral and political philosophy. This collection defines his position with essays on epistemological crises, dramatic narrative, the philosophy of science, cultures and practices, relativism, Hegel, the forces that keep moral philosophy and modern social practice apart and the lack of understanding of the forces affecting and affected by the body. His commentary on philosophical includes the famous "The ends of life, the ends of philosophical writing" and commentary of first principles and new readings of Fides et Ratio.

Publisher Summary 2
How should we respond when some of our basic beliefs are put into question? What makes a human body distinctively human? Why is truth an important good? These are among the questions explored in this collection of essays by Alasdair MacIntyre, one of the most creative and influential philosophers working today. Ten of MacIntyre's most influential essays written over almost thirty years are collected together here for the first time. They range over such topics as the issues raised by different types of relativism, what it is about human beings that cannot be understood by the natural sciences, the relationship between the ends of life and the ends of philosophical writing, and the relationship of moral philosophy to contemporary social practice. They will appeal to a wide range of readers across philosophy and especially in moral philosophy, political philosophy, and theology.
