Description

Alasdair MacIntyre, who died this year, was a Scottish-American philosopher and moral theorist, known best for his seminal book After Virtue (1981). MacIntyre was one of the earliest critics of the fragmented nature of contemporary morality and argued for a return to virtue-based ethics. In this exclusive masterclass, writer Nina Power unpacks MacIntyre’s foundational philosophies and suggests how they might inform a new era of radical politics.
