Highly controversial when it was first published in 1981, Alasdair MacIntyre's After Virtue has since established itself as a landmark work in contemporary moral philosophy. In this book, MacIntyre sought to address a crisis in moral language that he traced back to a European Enlightenment that had made the formulation of moral principles increasingly difficult. In the search for a way out of this impasse, MacIntyre returns to an earlier strand of ethical thinking, that of Aristotle, who emphasised the importance of 'virtue' to the ethical life. More than thirty years after its original publication, After Virtue remains a work that is impossible to ignore for anyone interested in our understanding of ethics and morality today.

The kindest thing I can say about this book is that the writing is unduly prolix. I joined a bimonthly discussion group which had chosen this for its topic. In preparation for the third week of discussion I skipped ahead to the end of the third chapter to see what the conclusion was. I took me so long to even parse one or two of the sentences that I gave up and resigned from the group. I do not consider it my task to disentangle what the author said into what he actually meant. That is his job, not mine. I do not recommend its purchase.
