Alasdair MacIntyre on Communitarianism - Dictionary of Arguments

Brocker I 662
Communitarianism/MacIntyre: MacIntyre refuses to be classified as a communitarian.(1) This refusal is stringent, since MacIntyre sees neither in a modern communitarianism nor in the implantation of an antique communitarianism into modernism a possibility to get out of the impasse.
>Modernism/MacIntyre
, Ethics/MacIntyre, Morals/MacIntyre.
MacIntyre: Thesis: we live in an epoch after the virtue. MacIntyre is not prepared to accept contemporary communitarianism as a possible response to the crisis of liberalism.
MacIntyreVsCommunitarianism: The option of such a corrective dualism of liberalism and communitarianism falls below the problem level given to it. There is no easy way out of the disastrous situation of modernism.
>Communitarianism, >VsCommunitarianism.
