First Principles, Finals Ends, and Contemporary Philosophical Issues - The Aquinas Lecture in Philosophy
Alasdair MacIntyre
Presents MacIntyre's most explicit defense of his approach to Thomistic metaphysics. This lecture follows MacIntyre's argument in After Virtue that modern philosophy has very literally lost its way, and the problems it faces are insoluble. The difficulties are twofold, and stem from the Cartesian turn to the self in the XVith century.
