Rationality

About this title

Review

"MacIntyre is widely informed and his story of developments in the traditions that he identifies is learned, interesting, and notably well-written." --London Review of Books
"Alasdair MacIntyre has done it again. Here [he] delivers on his promise in After Virtue to develop an account of rationality and justice that is tradition specific. . . . What is so remarkable about MacIntyre's achievement is his ability to combine close historical analysis with philosophical argumentation while never losing his narrative line. . . . His analysis illumines our situation in an extraordinary manner." --Commonweal
"MacIntyre is a master of the history of ideas. . . . [He] helps us to understand why so many people are stymied today in articulating beliefs that underlie their traditions of inquiry, practice, and public discourse." --Commentary
"[MacIntyre's] diagnosis of what ails recent moral philosophy is brilliant." --Wilson Quarterly
"MacIntyre's rich historical exposition displays all the erudition and philosophical subtlety that his readers have come to expect from his work. . . . [T]here is much to admire in MacIntyre's unflinching indictment of liberal modernity." --The New Criterion
