Virtue Ethics and Contemporary Aristotelianism: Modernity, Conflict and Politics: Bloomsbury Studies in the Aristotelian Tradition

Editat de Professor Andrius Bielskis, Dr Eleni Leontsini, Dr Kelvin Knight
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 dec 2021
This compelling and distinctive volume advances Aristotelianism by bringing its traditional virtue ethics to bear upon characteristically modern issues, such as the politics of economic power and egalitarian dispute.This volume bridges the gap between Aristotle's philosophy and the multitude of contemporary Aristotelian theories that have been formulated in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Part I draws on Aristotle's texts and Thomas Aquinas' Aristotelianism to examine the Aristotelian tradition of virtues, with a chapter by Alasdair MacIntyre contextualising the different readings of Aristotle's philosophy. Part II offers a critical engagement with MacIntyrean Aristotelianism, while Part III demonstrates the ongoing influence of Aristotelianism in contemporary theoretical debates on governance and politics.Extensive in its historical scope, this is a valuable collection relating the tradition of virtue to modernity, which will be of interest to all working in virtue ethics and contemporary Aristotelian politics.

Recenzii

The essays collected in this volume will be of great value to readers interested in the validity of MacIntyre's revival of Thomistic Aristotelianism and his engagement with modernity, capitalism, and twentieth-century philosophy. Critics and defenders of MacIntyre's approach, including MacIntyre himself, are well represented, as are the thinkers through which the value of Aristotle's ethics are discussed, including Marx, J. L. Austin, and Charles Taylor. The result is a fascinating exploration of some of the major issues, both practical and theoretical, confronting moral and social philosophy today.
Drawing on a wide range of sources from different traditions, the collection makes for a thoroughly informative exploration of Aristotelian virtue ethics. Front and centre are themes from MacIntyre's work, especially flourishing in the political community, which makes this collection of 14 essays an essential read for those interested in understanding MacIntyre's programme.
This volume is a welcome addition to the literature on Aristotelian political theories. It relates the MacIntyrean views to various debates inside and outside of Aristotelian theories. MacIntyre allows diversity, criticism and dialogue, unlike the misunderstood view of communitarianism. This book embodies the spirit of such a criticism-oriented MacIntyrean community.
