From Google News Search: "Alasdair MacIntyre" Alasdair MacIntyre critiques Rawls as follows:? Q. What is claimed to be a systematic theory is, in reality, an incoherent bundle of personal intuition and bygone social conditions. Is this fair or accurate? Is it important, or even relevant? Is it avoidable? Asked by numanuma85 - Wed Feb 25 12:13:08 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. If I'm recalling correctly, MacIntyre's primary problem with Rawls is that he never really sets down what it is that people should be trying to do. Everyone is free to pursue their own ends and Rawls is trying to make sure that they can, whatever those ends happen to be. But leaving things so open-ended seems to smack to MacIntyre as a kind of moral relativism - if everyone can do anything they want (more or less), it would seem that nothing is wrong and nothing is right. There is no direction and the result by his estimation is chaos. Whether you agree with one or another will probably depend a lot on what you think of human nature, which is itself a rather open question. If you tend to think (as Rawls did) that people have a social… [cont.] Answered by Doctor Why - Wed Feb 25 18:44:37 2009 Why did the chicken philosophically speaking? Q. Why did the chicken cross the Road ? Karl Marx: (1) It was a historical inevitability. (2)To escape the bourgeois middle-class struggle. (3) She was driven by the lash of economic necessity. John Stuart Mills: It was a utilitarian function. She had tasks that were better performed on the other side. Thomas More: For the good life and pleasure of all chickens. Friedrich Nietzsche: (1) Because if you gaze too long across the Road, the Road gazes also across you. (2)There was no chicken, no road, no crossing. There was only an interpretation. Camille Paglia: It was drawn by the subconscious chthonian power of the feminine which men can never understand, to cross the road and focus itself on its task.

Q. I'm reading Alasdair MacIntyre's book After Virtue and I am having trouble understanding Chapter 11 of this book. I'm actually having trouble reading most of the book. But I'm stuck on Chapter 11 it's rather confusing for some reason and I just can't seem to figure out the point he is trying to get across. A brief summary would help me out a lot because i refuse to continue reading until i figure this out. Thanks a lot! well thanks for telling me what philophy is but I'm already ten chapters into a book so i already knew what philosophy was. Also I took ancient greek in college so i knew the root of the word. I appreciate the help! It jsut wasn;t the question I asked. Thanks anyway.
