Synopsis "Against the Self-Images of age (in English)"

Alasdair MacIntyre is one of the few professional philosophers whose writings span both technical analytical philosophy and those general moral or intellectual questions that laymen often suppose to be the province of philosophy but that are seldom discussed within its bounds. The unity of this book--made up both of original and previously published pieces--lies in its attempt to expose this dichotomy and to link beliefs and moral theories with philosophical criticism. The author successively criticizes Christianity, Marxism, and psychoanalysis for their failure to express the forms of thought and action that constitute our contemporary social life, and argues that a greater understanding of our complex world will require a more thorough inquiry into the philosophy of the social sciences.

Alasdair MacIntyre se graduó en la Queen Mary University of London y obtuvo un Master of Arts en las universidades de Mánchester y de Oxford. Empieza su carrera de profesor en Mánchester, pero a lo largo de su carrera enseña en universidades tan reconocidas como las de Oxford, Leeds y Essex, en Gran Bretaña, y las de Boston, Duke, Yale y Notre Dame, en Estados Unidos. Es el O’Brien Senior Research Professor of Philosophy en la Universidad de Notre Dame, donde también es profesor emérito y tiene el título de Senior Research Fellow. Es miembro honorario de la Real Academia de Irlanda y ha sido ponente en las Conferencias Gifford y en las Conferencias Newman. En 2010, año de su jubilación, recibe la Medalla de Aquino de la Asociación Filosófica Católica de Estados Unidos (ACPA).

Como filósofo, se centra en la teología y en la filosofía moral y política. Restablece la ética y la política de Aristóteles en la filosofía actual y hace hincapié en la repercusión de la historia en las teorías filosóficas. Entre sus obras encontramos Marxismo y cristianismo, Justicia y racionalidad, Animales racionales y dependientes, Tres versiones rivales de la ética o Tras la virtud.
