ETHICS AND POLITICS

Alasdair MacIntyre is one of the most creative and important phil-

osophers working today. This volume presents a selection of his

classic essays on ethics and politics, focusing particularly on the

themes of moral disagreement, moral dilemmas, and truthfulness

and its importance. The essays range widely in scope, from Aristotle

and Aquinas and what we need to learn from them, to our contem-

porary economic and social structures and the threat which they pose

to the realization of the forms of ethical life. They will appeal to a

wide range of readers across philosophy and especially in moral

philosophy, political philosophy, and theology.

alasdair macintyre is Senior Research Professor of Philosophy

at the University of Notre Dame, a Member of the American

Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a Fellow of the British Academy.

articles.
