Exploring the intersection of virtue ethics in the philosophies of Aristotle and Alasdair MacIntyre, this book highlights the enduring significance of classical thought in contemporary society. It examines the integral relationship between virtue and community life, contrasting the moral frameworks of the 4th-century Greek polis with 21st-century Anglo-Saxon contexts. Through a detailed analysis of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics and MacIntyre's After Virtue, the work aims to assess the applicability of Aristotelian virtue in today's world.
