Alasdair MacIntyre, Is Patriotism A Virtue? - Patriotism And Liberal Morality

Sadler's Lectures
Dela

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th and 21st century philosopher and moral theorist, Alasdair MacIntyre's essay "Is Patriotism A Virtue?"

It focuses upon his discussion of one common approach to morality in modernity that will inevitably construe patriotism however understood as a vice, rather than as a virtue, one he labels "liberal" morality, which requires moral agents to abstract from their particular roles, backgrounds, and societies, and adopt a disinterested perspective. It also frames itself as being a neutral arbiter between conflicting interests, views on moral matters, and ways of life.
