The Tasks of Philosophy
Book (italiano):
When he read a collection of his early work (Against the Self-Image of the Age: Essays in Ideology and Philosophy), postmodernist MacIntyre (philosophy, U. of Notre Dame) found he had come to a turning-point in his thinking. It is apparent from this collection, taken from his writings from 1972 to 2002, that he took his reflections on Kuhn and Lakatos to heart, reformulating his thought on Aristotelian-based moral and political philosophy. This collection defines his position with essays on epistemological crises, dramatic narrative, the philosophy of science, cultures and practices, relativism, Hegel, the forces that keep moral philosophy and modern social practice apart and the lack of understanding of the forces affecting and affected by the body. His commentary on philosophical includes the famous "The ends of life, the ends of philosophical writing" and commentary of first principles and new readings of Fides et Ratio.
