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. 1. Alasdair MacIntyre „I’m not a Communitarian, But…” in: The responsive Community.
