Alasdair MacIntyre on Roles - Dictionary of Arguments

Brocker I 655
Roles/Modernism/Moral/Society/Culture/Emotivism/MacIntyre: MacIntyre Thesis: The loss of moral criteria in modernism, caused by the prevailing moral emotivism (see Emotivism/MacIntyre
) leads to moral actors obeying a role play. (1) MacIntyre borrows the thesis of role-playing from Erving Goffman:
Role/Goffman: Thesis: In our private and professional lives, whether we like it or not, we play roles that are judged by others. Ultimately, we judge ourselves by how well we play these roles.
>Roles/Goffman.
Brocker I 656
Moral/MacIntyre: The arbitrariness of moral viewpoints makes it possible "that the form of moral expressions provides a possible mask for almost every face."”(2).
>Pluralism/MacIntyre.
