Description

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th and 21st century philosopher and moral theorist, Alasdair MacIntyre's work After Virtue

It focuses upon chapter 14, specifically on his discussion of how virtues, practices, and institutions are interrelated. Virtues and practices require institutions which sustain them, but institutions are necessarily focused on external goods, and can have a corrupting influence upon practices. The virtues are needed in order to counteract this effect.
