After Virtue, Third Edition

The third edition of Alasdair MacIntyre's influential work, After Virtue, includes a new prologue reflecting on the book’s impact and ongoing relevance after more than 25 years. The book explores the historical and conceptual foundations of virtue, analyzes its decline in modern society, and considers paths toward its revival. MacIntyre maintains that understanding moral modernity is best achieved through the lens of classical Aristotelian tradition, and his arguments remain a significant critique of contemporary moral philosophy.
