Book ID/图书代码： 06565023C00003
English Summary/英文概要： This award-winning biography, now available for the first time in English, presents an illuminating introduction to Alasdair MacIntyre and locates his thinking in the intellectual milieu of twentieth-century philosophy.Winner of the prestigious 2005 Philippe Habert Prize, the late émile Perreau-Saussine’s Alasdair MacIntyre: Une biographie intellectuelle stands as a definitive introduction to the life and work of one of today’s leading moral philosophers. With Nathan J. Pinkoski’s translation, this long-awaited, critical examination of MacIntyre’s thought is now available to English readers for the first time, including a foreword by renowned philosopher Pierre Manent.
Amid the confusions and contradictions of our present philosophical landscape, few have provided the clarity of thought and shrewdness of diagnosis like Alasdair MacIntyre. In this study, Perreau-Saussine guides his readers through MacIntyre’s lifelong project by tracking his responses to liberalism’s limitations in light of the human search for what is good and true in politics, philosophy, and theology. The portrait that emerges is one of an intellectual giant who comes to oppose modern liberal individualism’s arguably singular focus on averting evil at the expense of a concerted pursuit of human goods founded upon moral and practical reasoning. Although throughout his career MacIntyre would engage with a number of theoretical and practical standpoints in service of his critique of liberalism, not the least of which was his early and later abandoned dalliance with Marxism, Perreau-Saussine convincingly shows how the Scottish philosopher came to hold that Aristotelian Thomism provides the best resources to counter what he perceives as the failure of the liberal project. Readers of MacIntyre’s works, as well as scholars and students of moral philosophy, the history of philosophy, and theology, will find this translation to be an essential addition to their collection.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这本屡获殊荣的传记, 现已推出首版英文翻译版，这本传记中，富有启发性的介绍了阿拉斯代尔·麦金泰尔的思想，并将其置于二十世纪的哲学知识环境中。已故的埃米尔·佩罗·索西因 (Émile Perreau-Saussine) 所撰写的《阿拉斯代尔·麦金泰尔：一部知识分子传记》荣获 2005 年著名的菲利普·哈伯特奖，是对当今一位领先道德哲学家的生活和工作的权威介绍。 通过内森·平科斯基 (Nathan J. Pinkoski) 的翻译，这部期待已久的对麦金泰尔思想的批判性审视现在首次向英国读者开放，其中包括著名哲学家皮埃尔·马南特 (Pierre Manent) 的前言。
在当下混乱和矛盾的哲学领域中，很少有人像阿拉斯代尔·麦金泰尔那样提供清晰的思想和精明的判断。 在这项研究中，佩罗-索西因引导读者了解麦金泰尔的毕生研究，根据人类对政治、哲学和神学中善与真的追求，追踪麦金泰尔对自由主义局限性的看法。所展现出来是一个知识巨人的形象，他反对现代自由个人主义，可以说，现代自由个人主义只专注于避免坏事，而对于建立在道德和实践推理基础上的人类好品质，放弃了共同追求。 尽管在麦金泰尔的整个职业生涯中，麦金泰尔会采用许多理论和实践立场来服务于他对自由主义的批判，其中最重要的是他早年和后来放弃了对马克思主义的调侃，但佩罗-索西因用令人信服的文字展示了这位苏格兰哲学家是如何坚持认为，亚里士多德的托马斯主义提供了最好的资源来对抗他认定的自由主义计划的失败。 麦金泰尔作品的读者，以及道德哲学、哲学史和神学的学者和学生，会发现这本译本是他们收藏的重要补充。(Chen)
