Reviews

This manuscript presents the most substantial defense of MacIntyre against criticisms that are becoming tired through excessive repetition. It should serve to shift debate about MacIntyre's work to another and more worthwhile stage.
*Kelvin Knight, London Metropolitan University*

I quite think it’s the best book we have to date on Alasdair.
*Stanley Hauerwas, Gilbert T. Rowe Professor of Theological Ethics, Duke University Divinity School and professor at the Duke University School of Law*

Christopher Lutz has written a splendid and measured exposition of my work and has discussed some major criticisms of it with unusual insight into what is at issue. When, on some few occasions, I am not completely certain that I meant what he says that I meant, I generally think that I ought to have meant what he says that I meant.
*Alasdair MacIntyre, research professor of philosophy, University of Notre Dame*

This is a first-rate study — feisty, well-argued, and passionate in defense of its subject.
