Alasdair MacIntyre’s intellectual journey is a fascinating exploration of moral philosophy and social critique, and this collection of his selected writings sheds light on a crucial period of his life from 1953 to 1974. During these years, MacIntyre engaged deeply with Marxist thought, challenging dominant ideals and contributing to various debates regarding ethics, politics, and society.

Examining his lesser-known writings reveals the complexities of his philosophical inquiries and the ways in which he grappled with foundational ideas about human nature and community. The essays and lectures included in this volume illustrate MacIntyre's transition from Marxism to his later, more well-known perspectives, offering readers a nuanced understanding of his evolving theories and critical positions.

The collaboration with Paul Blackledge further enriches the discussion, providing context and insight into MacIntyre’s intellectual engagements during this transformative era. This collection not only highlights the significance of Marxist influences on MacIntyre but also paves the way for a broader appreciation of his contributions to contemporary philosophy.
