9/24/09 Alasdair MacIntyre: Honorary Lecture

Author of After Virtue, his paradigmatic work of intellectual history, Alasdair MacIntyre is known to many as a leading voice in moral and political philosophy.  In September of 2009, Professor MacIntyre gave a lecture at the Dominican House of Studies titled, "What Should a Philosophical Education be Nowadays?"  Speaking before a packed house, Professor MacIntyre delineated the contours of what a Thomistic and Aristotelian philosophical education might look like in the context of today's intellectual climate.  Professor MacIntyre has himself taught philosophy since 1951 and is currently a member of the faculty of philosophy at the University of Notre Dame.
