This book is a study of Alasdair MacIntyre's virtue project. MacIntyre is placed in the context of the virtue tradition he seeks to recover; special attention is paid to Aristotle and Aquinas, both of whom are important resources for MacIntyre. This study then highlights key developments in the history of ethics and explains the rise of the Enlightenment and the displacement of the virtue tradition. MacIntyre's influential critique of the Enlightenment is outlined before a summary of his own virtue project is detailed. The author then surveys and responds to key critiques of MacIntyre's work and ends with an examination of what MacIntyre's project means to the church. This book provides a useful introduction and summary of MacIntyre's project which will be valuable to anyone interested in MacIntyre or the revival of virtue ethics.
