God, Philosophy, Universities: A History of the Catholic Philosophical Tradition
ISBN: 9781472957764 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. MacIntyre gives the reader an extremely perceptive account of the role of religion in modern culture and society as a whole. Three convictions underlie this book. The first is that an educated Catholic laity needs to understand a good deal more about Catholic philosophical thought than it does now. The warring partisans on the great issues that engage our culture and politics presuppose the truth of some philosophical theses and the falsity of others. Second, argues MacIntyre, Catholic philosophy is best understood historically, as a continuing conversation through the centuries, in which...

Against Self Images of Age: Essays on Ideology and Philosophy
ISBN: 9780268005870 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Alasdair MacIntyre is one of the few professional philosophers whose writings span both technical analytical philosophy and those general moral or intellectual questions that laymen often suppose to be the province of philosophy but that are seldom discussed within its bounds. The unity of this book--made up both of original and previously published pieces--lies in its attempt to expose this dichotomy and to link beliefs and moral theories with philosophical criticism. The author successively criticizes Christianity, Marxism, and psychoanalysis for their failure to express the forms of...

Three Rival Versions of Moral Enquiry: Encyclopaedia, Genealogy and Tradition
ISBN: 9780715623374 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 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. Mr. MacIntyre claims that different schools of philosophy must differ fundamentally about what counts as a rational way to settle intellectual differences. Reading between the lines, one can see that he has in mind nationalities as well as thinkers, and literary criticism as well as academic philosophy. More explicitly, he labels and discusses three significantly different standpoints: the...

Marxism and Christianity
ISBN: 9780268013585 / Angielski / Miękka / 1984 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 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.
