Abstract
The engagement with Aquinas’s philosophical heritage marks a turning point in the intellectual development of Alasdair MacIntyre. In particular, the Thomistic doctrine of natural law provides the Scottish philosopher with a more comprehensive framework for grounding ethics not only at the individual level but, more importantly, at the level of the community. This paper examines how MacIntyre engaged with Aquinas’s doctrine of natural law and adopted its key features as a foundation for the ethical and political order. Through MacIntyre’s interpretation of Aquinas’s ideas, it also becomes possible to highlight certain aspects of the Dominican master’s arguments.
