Original language description
The moral life of a person - general ethical principles and moral moƟ ves for specific actions - is based on religious beliefs or philosophical worldviews. Religious beliefs and philosophical views are heavily intertwined, and this connecƟ on allows the religious content of any belief to be conveyed in philosophical terms, i.e., each religion has its own religious philosophy. This fact allows us to presume that, in general, there is a certain philosophical worldview behind any moral creed. AŌ er Virtue is a book on ethical reasoning by the philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre. He gives a disheartening look at the state of present-day dialogue, with respect to it as failing to be judicious, and failing to admit to being incoherent at times. He claims that more ancient modes of ethical reasoning were superior, especially singling out Aristotle's moral philosophy as a model. My essay is addressing Aristotle's theories and views on the nature of good human life, and off ers a critical comparison between Aristotle and MacIntyre on the good life. Alasdair MacIntyre's take on virtue ethics is highly criƟ cal of contemporary ethical logic, and he instead looks to revive and vindicate the Aristotelian tradiƟ on in moral philosophy. The main questions asked in this essay are the following: What is "After the Virtue?" What is the content of MacIntyre's version of virtue ethics, good human life, and happiness? What is MacIntyre's contemporary presentation of Aristotle's concept of virtue? Along with these questions, there will be a discussion and criƟ cal comparison of Aristotle and MacIntyre on the good life, eudaimonia, and virtue.
