Alasdair MacIntyre on Enlightenment - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 659 Enlightenment/Moral/Ethics/MacIntyre: For MacIntyre, Enlightenment represents a failed attempt to overcome post-medieval pluralism and eclecticism with the help of universal moral based on reason.(1) >Pluralism, >Universalism, >Morality. The Enlightenment had wanted to take "incoherent fragments of a once coherent system of thought and action"(2) as a basis. Problem: there are breaks between a de-teleologization of the moral system and a simultaneous dependence on a teleological framework. >Teleology. MacIntyreVsEnlightenment: the search for a moral standpoint that pretends to be independent of social order is an illusion. Obligations, rules and laws have replaced goods, traditions and social conditions. >Duty, >Laws, >Rules. MacIntyreVsKant: in his moral writings the "thought that moral is something other than following rules Brocker I 660 got almost, if not completely out of sight".(3) >I.
