Abstract of book
One of the fundamental aspects of the cultural landscape of the last century has been the revival of philosophical anthropology, often in the form of a radical examination of the humanum. This renaissance constitutes an attempt to meet the primary challenges posed by an era which profoundly doubts the very possibility of a semantics of humanism. This book argues that MacIntyrean thought offers an important contribution to the development of a new semantics of humanism, since it enables dialogue and rational competition among perspectives belonging to rival intellectual traditions. The volume explores a variety of fresh, intriguing takes on the question of rationality and the human in an age of advanced modernity.
