MacIntyre's critique of modern liberalism

Alasdair MacIntyre critiques modern liberalism by arguing it emphasizes individual rights and preferences over shared moral traditions and virtues. He believes this focus leads to fragmented societies where people lack a common moral framework, making social cohesion and meaningful ethical commitments difficult. MacIntyre advocates returning to a sense of community and character development rooted in tradition and shared practices, which he views as essential for creating a moral society. His critique suggests that without a moral narrative and communal values, modern liberalism risks fostering moral relativism and social disintegration.
