Description
This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th and 21st century philosopher and moral theorist, Alasdair MacIntyre's work After Virtue
It focuses upon chapter 14, specifically on his discussion of why three virtues in particular - justice, courage, and honesty - are needed for practices, and to stave off the corrupting influences of institutions upon practices. MacIntyre does not claim that these are the only virtues ever needed, but he explains why these three are.
