In a wide-ranging discussion, he considers how normative and evaluative judgments are to be understood, how desire and practical reasoning are to be characterized, what it is to have adequate self-knowledge, and what part narrative plays in our understanding of human lives. He asks, further, what it would be to understand the modern condition from a neo-Aristotelian or Thomistic perspective, and argues that Thomistic Aristotelianism, informed by Marx's insights, provides us with resources for constructing a contemporary politics and ethics which both enable and require us to act against modernity from within modernity. This rich and important book builds on and advances MacIntyre's thinking in ethics and moral philosophy, and will be of great interest to readers in both fields.Desire (Philosophy)EthicsPhilosophy and social sciencesDesire (Philosophy)Ethics.Philosophy and social sciences.170PHI005000bisacshMacIntyre Alasdair C.187637UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910150171303321Ethics in the conflicts of modernity1905938UNINA
