O objetivo do artigo é mostrar que a defesa que Alasdair MacIntyre faz da retomada da ética aristotélica das virtudes, como um remédio filosófico para os males da teoria e da prática morais contemporânea, é uma re-apropriação de ferramentas conceituais da antiguidade clássica, mas moldada por exigências teóricas contemporâneas, especialmente pela inspiração historicista da filosofia da ciência de Thomas Kuhn.Abstract: The aim of paper is to show that Alasdair MacIntyre’s defense of Aristotelian Ethics of Virtues as a Philosophical solution to the diseases of Contemporary Moral theory and practice is indeed a re-appropriation of Conceptual tools from Classic Antiquity, but influenced by Contemporary Theoretical requirements, especially from Thomas Kuhn’s historicist Philosophy of Science.

O texto tematiza o tomismo em Alasdair MacIntyre, especialmente em Three Rival Versions of Moral Inquiry, mostrando como MacIntyre se apropria metodologicamente de ferramentas conceituais oriundas do tomismo para resolver os problemas que afligem a teoria e a prática moral contemporânea. Trata-se, portanto, de uma leitura hermenêutica do modo como MacIntyre se apropria do tomismo nessa obra específica, mas sem esgotar os elementos que compõem tal apropriação. Abstract: The paper thematizes the presence of thomism in Alasdair MacIntyre, especially in his book Three Rival Versions of Moral Inquiry, by showing how MacIntyre appropriates methodologically conceptual tools coming from Thomism in to solve the problems that afflict the contemporary moral theory and practice. It is, therefore, a hermeneutic reading of how MacIntyre appropriates Thomism that particular work, but without exhausting the elements of such appropriation. Keywords: Tradition. Methodological Thomism. Hermeneutics.

Philosophy can serve two roles in relation to moral thinking: first, to provide a meta-ethical commentary on the nature of moral thought, as the methodology or the philosophy of science provides a commentary on the nature of scientific thought; and second, to build on the common presumptions deployed in people's moral thinking about moral issues, looking for a substantive moral theory that they might support. The present essay addresses the nature of this second role; illustrates it with substantive theories that equate moral obligations respectively with requirements of nature, self-interest, benevolence, reason and justifiability; and outlines a novel competitor in which the focus is shifted to requirements of co-reasoning and respect.

Liberal Individualism

This essay discusses the contribution of Alasdair MacIntyre’s After Virtue (1981) to a generation of moral theory. Pitched as a critique of liberal individualism (e.g., Rawls), modernity (e.g., amoral bureaucracies), and the antagonism toward the history of moral theory evinced by analytical philosophers, MacIntyre’s book urges a return toward moral traditions embedded in local communities as the best route to avoid what he regards as the soullessness of modernity and the abyss of Nietzschean philosophy. But his failure to reflect on the political valence of traditions in general or the Aristotelian and Thomist ones he values, seriously compromises his complaints about modernity and his suggestions for ways out.

Kant's Ethics

In this article I intend to show that Kant’s ethics is teleological (ethics of purposes), in contraposition to what a venerable neo-aristotelic and neo-hegelian moral tradition thinks. It is true that law ideas and categorical imperative are central to Kant’s moral theory, and therefore, it can be classified as deontological. However, here I want to prove that Kant’s deontological moral philosophy can’t be appropriately understood without assuming that, at the same time, it is a teleological moral theory in a sense very similar to the one that makes aristotelian ethics teleological, namely, based on a purpose of the action that consists in the fulfilment of a flourishing and good life.

An Invitation to Feminist Ethics is a hospitable approach to the study of feminist moral theory and practice. Designed to be small enough to be used as a supplement to other books, it also provides the theoretical depth necessary for stand-alone use in courses in feminist ethics, feminist philosophy, women’s studies, or other courses where feminism is studied. The Overviews section surveys feminist ethical theory and the Close-ups section looks at three topics—bioethics, violence, and the globalized economy—that help students to put the theories presented in the Overviews section to good use.

English Speaking

In 1974, George Grant delivered the Josiah Wood lectures at Mount Allison University on the theme English-Speaking Justice. The lectures, first published in 1978, have been republished, and a volume of later essays on somewhat related themes has recently appeared. Grant's work offers an impressionistic but deep challenge to the conception of justice in modern moral thought and practice, a challenge paralleled, in interesting and important ways, by concerns about morality raised in the writings of such persons as Alasdair MacIntyre, Bernard Williams, and, perhaps more surprisingly, J. L. Mackie. In this review, I want briefly to expound Grant's treatment of justice, to exhibit its relationships to other disquieting accounts, and to suggest some of the resources available to contractarian moral theory for lightening what for Grant is a terrifying darkness.

Henry Sidgwick

How practical can ethics be? To what extent is it possible to put ethics ‘to the use of life’, in the words of Samuel Johnson? In Practical Ethics, Henry Sidgwick offers the distillation of a lifetime of reflection on how to relate moral theory and practice. This book provides both a model and a cautionary example. Its lucid, urbane, and broad-gauged approach to practical moral issues is exemplary; but its very lucidity also exposes the moral risks in Sidgwick's attempt to isolate deliberation about these issues from fundamental moral premises, including the interlocking intuitionist, utilitarian, and paternalist premises buttressing his conclusions about legitimate practices of violence and deceit.
