- AFTER VIRTUE - Alasdair MacIntyre
  
  6pm-7:30pm, Thurs, Fortnightly, starting 8 May
  Room 262, 10 Hadenfeld Ave, Macquarie University
  
  Join us on campus for a Thomistic Institute Reading Group. We'll make our way through AFTER VIRTUE by Scottish philosopher, Alasdair MacIntyre.
  
  Highly controversial when it was first published in 1981, Alasdair MacIntyre's After Virtue has since established itself as a landmark work in contemporary moral philosophy. In this book, MacIntyre sought to address a crisis in moral language that he traced back to a European Enlightenment that had made the formulation of moral principles increasingly difficult. In the search for a way out of this impasse, MacIntyre returns to an earlier strand of ethical thinking, that of Aristotle, who emphasised the importance of 'virtue' to the ethical life. More than thirty years after its original publication, After Virtue remains a work that is impossible to ignore for anyone interested in our understanding of ethics and morality today.
  
  The group is led by Macquarie Uni alumnus, Dr Robert Snell. Rob grew up an Evangelical, but converted to Catholicism after reading the Church Fathers. He completed a PhD at Macquarie University in the moral philosophy of Thomas Aquinas, and spent 3 years in formation as a Dominican friar before discerning the call to married life. He now works for University Chaplaincies. He enjoys talking about philosophy and bad puns.
  
  This is a free event open to both current students and alumni.
