- Sep 4, 2018Stephen,I highly value your opinion about my take on MacIntyre, whose philosophy is well-known in Virtue Ethics literature.As for Hegel's place in all this -- I find Hegel's Ethics to be (as we might expect) a synthesis of the ancient/modern Deontology (Moses, Kant) and Teleology (Aristotle, Mill).Thomas also aimed at this synthesis -- both Law (Deontology) and Virtue (Teleology). This is what I'm beginning to see in Hegel's RIGHT.All best,--Paul

A good summary of MacIntyre, Paul, according to me - Always useful. yes, one wants to cross Hegelian post-Kantian thoughts and expressions with classical virtue-ethics (see my new book, very short, on Thomas and the virtuous life (I have forgotten my own title) as happy). It is also a summary.Thus art, for Hegel first form of absolute spirit, for Aristotle, a practical intellectual virtue; understanding, a Kantian faculty, an intellectual virtue, for Aristotle, again, while wisdom, sophia, the crowning intellectual virtue, for Thomas, seems simply to be Vernünft.Stephen - << Previous post in topic Next post in topic >>
