After Virtue: A Study in Moral Theory, Third Edition by Alasdair MacIntyre

challenging informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

this book was such an interesting read as a philosophy student! macintyre did and excellent job laying out his history of virtue, and close to the end we get his definitions and a bigger explanation of how he’s looking at the problem he posed in the beginning. this book is not of the prescriptive variety, it’s descriptive and very well done. 
i will admit, the pace at which i had to read this book for school was brutal. long readings and not enough time to let the readings sink in made it hard to appreciate at the time. but looking back, it was well worth the time and effort to read!
