Summary

This is the first reader of MacIntyre's work. It includes extracts from and his own synopses of two famous books from the 1980s, After Virtue and Whose Justice? Which Rationality? as well as the whole of several shorter works and two interviews. Taken together, these pieces constitute not only a representative collection of his work but also the most accessible presentation of his arguments yet available. Kelvin Knight concludes The MacIntyre Reader with a clear, concise, and insightful overview of the development of MacIntyre's central ideas and how they have developed in his writings. Students will find this book an excellent introduction to one of the great thinkers of our time.
