Abstract:

The prominence of the term ‘Postmodernism’ in critical responses to the work of Alasdair Gray has often appeared at odds with Gray’s own writing, both in his commitment to seemingly non-postmodernist concerns and his own repeatedly stated rejection of the label. In order to better understand Gray’s relationship to postmodernism, this thesis begins by outlining Gray’s reservations in this regard. Principally, this is taken as the result of his concerns over the academic appropriation of his work, and his suggestion that ‘postmodernism’ is an entity wholly constructed and primarily active within

Abstract:

This thesis argues that Alasdair MacIntyre's Thomistic turn generates two important difficulties that appear to destabilise his overall position. First, it appears that on the basis of MacIntyre own historical, context-dependent, and developmental account of how traditions develop, Aristotelian-Thomism was in fact sidelined in the course of the various episodes in social-intellectual history, making it hard to see how he can claim that it should be revived, now that it has been surpassed as a tradition. Second, MacIntyre's commitment to maintaining a close link between moral thinking and the w

Abstract:

This dissertation aims to study Alasdair MacIntyre's virtue theory as presented in After Virtue (1981). In order to achieve this, an introduction to his criticism of the Enlightenment project's justification of morality, in addition to his criticism of emotivist ethical theory, will be required. His adoption of Aristotle's virtue theory will also be covered, as well as (some of) the criticism directed at the consequences of the MacIntyrian theory and the answer given by the author in his Poscript (1984)<br>Esta dissertação tem como objetivo o estudo da teoria das virtudes de Alasdair MacIntyre

Abstract:

Authoritarianism is on the rise across the world and intriguingly in the United States, known as the democratic laboratory. Political theorists and activists inquire into this contradictory political phenomenon in the United States, but their inquiries are fruitless. This dissertation finds that they uncritically conceive democracy as a mechanism of governance. As such, this narrow conception hampers their intelligence for political inquiries into the surge of authoritarianism in America.

Abstract:

The theme of truth in the work of Alasdair MacIntyre has rarely been developed. The present thesis aims at filling this lack. In a long first part the goes in details through the whole of MacIntyre’s work with a special attention to the item of truth, which is omnipresent. This heuristic part leads to a hermeneutic part, in which the thought of the Anglo-Saxon philosopher is compared with that of Hans-Georg Gadamer - to whom he affirms to be widely indebted - in order to discern the proper of the Macintyrian researcher and that of his access to truth, which he considers as absolute.

Abstract:

Alasdair Macintyre asserts in After Virtue that contemporary moral discourse is only arbitrary assertion of the will. Appeals to reasoned arguments have been replaced by expressions of preference, attitude and feeling-- in short, by "emotivism." Macintyre locates this moral breakdown in the Enlightenment philosophers' failed attempt to replace Aristotelian teleology with a rational justification for morality. Macintyre's analysis fails because he does not show whose interests are served through the assertion of arbitrary supposed will or whose interests were served when "objective" standard of

Abstract:

This thesis considers the question of justification of belief in a comprehensive metaphysical system, through an exposition and evaluation of the philosophy of Alasdair MacIntyre. It defines a comprehensive metaphysical system as a set of ontological and ethical presuppositions which are taken to encompass and explain the nature of the universe, and which provide a framework for human practical reasoning and action. The thesis argues that such a system is primarily a way of interpreting the world and the place of humanity within it, rather than a speculative theory. It considers the extent to

Abstract:

This thesis examines what I term 'transcendental kinship' in the work of George Friel and Alasdair Gray. This may be defined as the attitude of one who tries to surpass everyday embodied reality in an effort to relate to spiritual or mental others. The first chapter examines the anthropological notion of kinship and its relevance to Friel's short stories. There we discover how personal identities are formed within networks of mutual recognition, and how even the relationship of worshipper to deity is modelled after this pattern. In the second chapter, we see how Friel's alienated protagonists

Abstract:

This thesis is a critical examination of two different stages in the work of Alasdair MacIntyre. In particular it deals with his account of the moral resources available to radical thought in contemporary society. MacIntyre’s work presents us with two different accounts of what these moral resources might be and how they might affect the way that we conceive of radical politics. In his earlier Marxist work, MacIntyre claimed, firstly, that an intelligible morality needs to be understood as the satisfaction of desire, secondly that we could come to learn that what we really desired could be ach

In the introduction current definitions of fantasy are surveyed.

This study in political theory explores the challenges and potentialities of modern politics as envisaged within the work of Jürgen Habermas, Hannah Arendt, and Alasdair MacIntyre. It begins by confronting Max Weber’s seminal diagnosis of the crisis era of late modernity. According to this diagnosis the world-historic process of rationalization is deeply paradoxical in promising freedom and yet threatening servitude under an “iron cage” of deadening specialism and senseless hedonism. Weber responds to this paradox by conceding that all endeavour will henceforth take the form of a specialism bu

Abstract:

Dans la définition moderne de la nation comme invention, la littérature est replacée au centre du processus d'élaboration de l'expérience identitaire nationale. En Ecosse, le projet de réécriture de la nation autorise nombre d'auteurs à restituer à l'Ecosse dévolutionnaire une image d'elle-même désirée unique et inédite. Ce travail, qui s'appuie sur l'œuvre de Janice Galloway, Alasdair Gray et Alison Louise Kennedy, se propose d'éclairer le projet d'écriture, mené par trois des plus grandes figures de la littérature écossaise contemporaine, d'un nouveau destin imaginé pour l'Ecosse. Des figure

Abstract:

This thesis is made up of five parts: a critical dissertation, a video essay, a novel and two short stories. The first part, the dissertation, is on what it terms body texts: literature that makes deliberate, creative use of its form. This is literature that can’t be considered as simply (to use Genette’s definition of a literary work), ‘a more or less long sequence of verbal statements, more or less endowed with significance,’ [Paratexts, p1] but is inseparable from its incorporate existence, whether that existence is physical or digital. Using the work of B.S. Johnson and Alasdair Gray – as

Abstract:

Esta tesis doctoral pretende estudiar ordenadamente los escritos de Alasdair MacIntyre sobre el derecho. Se propone un itinerario desde los años cincuenta hasta 2010. Se sostiene que para la comprensión de la filosofía del derecho de MacIntyre es necesario conocer su filosofía de la acción. Tras un análisis de ésta, se estudia su deriva naturalista en la ética, sus consecuencias en la teoría de la justicia y su defensa del derecho natural. Su postura en el marco del iusnaturalismo se distingue de otras corrientes en el seno del aristotelismo y del tomismo y propone una interpretación ecléctica

Maclntyre analiza y opone las tres visiones y obras que investiga, tomando partido expreso por la tradición tomista; luego desarrolla dicha tradición con mayor amplitud para mostrar finalmente cómo pueden enfrentarse estas posturas en el marco de la universidad contemporánea.
