There is no such thing as a MacIntyrean philosophy, only the MacIntyrean practice of seeking groundbreaking answers. In this, as in many other respects, Alasdair MacIntyre is a true follower of the Greek master: his philosophical work is imbued with the impetus for renewed exploration. As teacher and philosopher he was himself characterized by a perpetual spirit of investigation. In a celebrated phrase Dante praises Aristotle as “master of those who know.” Aristotle would be happier, I believe, described as “master of those who desire to know.” Aside from the fact that those who already know have no need of a master, Aristotle was convinced that as humans we can never master all there is to be known about ourselves and our place within the cosmos.
