Описание: The essays in this collection explore the implications of Alasdair MacIntyres critique of liberalism, capitalism, and the modern state, his early Marxism, and the complex influences of Marxist ideas on his thought. A central idea is that MacIntyres political and social theory is a form of revolutionary—not reactionary—Aristotelianism. The contributors aim, in varying degrees, both to engage with the theoretical issues of MacIntyres critique and to extend and deepen his insights.
The book features a new introductory essay by MacIntyre, How Aristotelianism Can Become Revolutionary, and ends with an essay in which MacIntyre comments on the other authors contributions. It also includes Kelvin Knights 1996 essay, Revolutionary Aristotelianism, which first challenged conservative appropriations of MacIntyres critique of liberalism by reinterpreting his Aristotelianism through the lens of his earlier engagement with Marx.
Contributors: Paul Blackledge, Kelvin Knight, Alasdair MacIntyre, Tony Burns, Alex Callinicos, Sean Sayers, Niko Noponen, ?mile Perreau-Saussine, Neil Davidson, Sante Maletta, Anton Leist, Peter McMylor, and Andrius Bielskis.
