MALS 563 - Problems in Ethics: Mcintyre

Institution:

Duquesne University

Subject:

MALS - Master Arts Lib Studies

Description:

This course continues the argument Alasdair MacIntyre begins in After Virtue. Moral discourse requires a rootedness in beliefs reflecting continuity of debate at the personal as well as political level. Modern liberalism short circuits this dialectical connectedness through the creation of, and emphasis upon, what must be considered its central tenet: the individual qua individual as repository of rights must be protected as point of departure and ultimate end of moral inquiry.
