Three Rival Versions of Moral Enquiry: Encyclopaedia, Genealogy and Tradition
ISBN: 9780715623374 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. MacIntyre's project, here as elsewhere, is to put up a fight against philosophical relativism. . . . The current form is the 'incommensurability, ' so-called, of differing standpoints or conceptual schemes.

Marxism and Christianity
ISBN: 9780268013585 / Angielski / Miękka / 1984 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Contending that Marxism achieved its unique position in part by adopting the content and functions of Christianity, MacIntyre details the religious attitudes and modes of belief that appear in Marxist doctrine as it developed historically from the philosophies of Hegel and Feuerbach, and as it has been carried on by latter-day interpreters from Rosa Luxemburg and Trotsky to Kautsky and Lukacs. The result is a lucid exposition of Marxism and an incisive account of its persistence and continuing importance.

The Unconscious: A Conceptual Analysis
ISBN: 9780415333047 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Unconscious: a Conceptual Analysis is an important and clearly written philosophical inquiry into the fundamental concept of psychoanalysis: the unconscious. Alasdair MacIntyre argues that Freud's conception of the unconscious is complicated by his tendency to use the term in two different ways. MacIntyre shows how Freud uses the term 'unconscious' both as a straightforward description of psychological phenomena, and as a theoretical notion to explain the links between childhood events and adult behaviour. This clarification helps to shed light on the many misunderstandings of...

First Principles, Finals Ends, and Contemporary Philosophical Issues
ISBN: 9780874621570 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This lecture is MacIntyre's most explicit defense of his approach to Thomistic metaphysics. This lecture follows MacIntyre's argument in After Virtue that modern philosophy has very literally lost its way, and the problems it faces are insoluble. The difficulties are twofold, and stem from the Cartesian turn to the self in the XVith century. Modern philosophy cannot reestablish contact with the outside world when our starting point is self-knowledge, and modern philosophy also cannot accept that any principle could be 'first' in any absolute sense of the word, because final causality has...

Indeed, there is no other in which men trained in the school of philosophy dominant in England today have sought as they do here to come to terms with Christian theology.' (British Weekly)
