Critics and defenders of MacIntyre’s approach, including MacIntyre himself, are well represented, as are the thinkers through which the value of Aristotle’s ethics are discussed, including  Marx, J. L. Austin, and Charles Taylor. The result is a fascinating exploration of some of the major issues, both practical and theoretical, confronting moral and social philosophy today. -- Richard Kraut, Charles and Emma Morrison Professor in the Humanities, Northwestern University, USA\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on a wide range of sources from different traditions, the collection makes for a thoroughly informative exploration of Aristotelian virtue ethics. Front and centre are themes from MacIntyre’s work, especially flourishing in the political community, which makes this collection of 14 essays an essential read for those interested in understanding MacIntyre’s programme. -- Joachim Aufderheide, Senior Lecturer in Philosophy, King’s College London, UK\u003cbr\u003eThis volume is a welcome addition to the literature on Aristotelian political theories. It relates the MacIntyrean views to various debates inside and outside of Aristotelian theories. MacIntyre allows diversity, criticism and dialogue, unlike the misunderstood view of communitarianism. This book embodies the spirit of such a criticism-oriented MacIntyrean community. * The Classical Review *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: The Aristotelian Tradition of Virtues, Andrius Bielskis \u003ci\u003e(Mykolas Romeris University, Lithuania)\u003c\/i\u003e, Eleni Leontsini \u003ci\u003e(University of Ioannina, Greece)\u003c\/i\u003e, and Kelvin Knight \u003ci\u003e(London Metropolitan University, UK)  \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart I.
