1. Émile Perreau-Saussine

Alasdair MacIntyre

"Émile Perreau-Saussine has produced an interesting and provocative interpretation of Alasdair MacIntyre and Nathan Pinkoski's translation has provided the English-speaking world access to the work....Any university library with a serious politics, philosophy, or theology program should procure a copy." —The American Journal of Jurisprudence "In this book, Perreau-Saussine traces the complex intellectual development of Scottish American philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre (b. 1924) with a view to showing the underlying unity of his life's work. ...Recommended." —Choice "The real value of Perreau-Saussine's biography lies less in its exposition of MacIntyre's intellectual development than in its extended clarification of what is at stake in the questions MacIntyre explores. . . . For Perreau-Saussine, political progress will come when we better navigate these tensions within the liberal order, not when we seek to resolve them entirely outside it. Whether his eminent case proves his point is worth our careful reflection." —The Hedgehog Review "Alasdair MacIntyre: An Intellectual Biography, by the philosopher Émile Perreau-Saussine, is less an academic study than an essay on MacIntyrean themes. . . It's engaging and accessible." —The Nation "[F]or those who would like to consider the merits and demerits of liberal democracy in a judicious way, Émile Perreau-Saussine's critical study of one of antiliberalism's éminence grise is now available. It is both a specimen and a model of the sort of political philosophizing sorely needed in our trying times." —Law & Liberty "Perreau-Saussine makes a valuable contribution for those looking to understand the context and nature of Alasdair MacIntyre's thought. He strikes a balance by pulling together biographical details, intellectual influences, and a variety of publications to craft a portrait of one of the twentieth century's most influential philosophers." —The University Bookman "On the whole, this is a[n] . . . insightful essay in intellectual history. Or rather, it is three essays, dealing respectively with MacIntyre's politics, philosophy, and theology. The first covers MacIntyre's early involvement with the British New Left. . . . A second chapter deals with the philosophy of action and ethics. . . . A last chapter, on theology, sees Perreau-Saussine return to safer ground." —First Things "Alasdair MacIntyre is a moral philosopher of the first rank. . . . May our contemporaries be receptive to the wisdom and moderation that informs this splendid and timely book." —Claremont Review of Books "Alasdair MacIntyre: An Intellectual Biography by Émile Perreau-Saussine seeks to defend the Scottish philosopher's standing as one of the most profound theorists of capitalist modernity on either side of the Atlantic. . . . [A]long the way we do learn a great deal about MacIntyre's life and how it informed his unique blend of Marxist-Catholic Scholasticism." —Jacobin "MacIntyre stands in the modern intellectual landscape as one of tradition's great champions, but he was never a particularly happy warrior, even though he had a great deal to say about what makes men happy. Anyone who is intrigued by these puzzles will find this book of considerable interest." —Law & Liberty "[The book's] treatment of MacIntyre's religious struggles and his journey to the Catholic Church is perhaps its strongest part and will be a revelation to anyone accustomed to a more narrowly philosophical approach to MacIntyre's ideas." —Current "Provides a penetrating overview of the ideas of 20th-century moral philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre. . . . Perreau-Saussine proves a talented historian of ideas, cogently elucidating how such diverse traditions as Marxism, Catholicism, and Aristotelianism come together in MacIntyre's writings." —Publishers Weekly "The book is a sympathetic treatment of the ideas that have consistently run through MacIntyre's complicated career, but it doesn't hesitate to pose to MacIntyre tough-minded intellectual challenges. It is a genuine philosophical dialogue between two serious thinkers." —Ronald Beiner, author of Dangerous Minds "Alasdair MacIntyre is one of the most influential and widely read moral philosophers of the last three or four decades. This remarkably erudite and comprehensive book is an indispensable guide for anyone who has a serious interest in twentieth-century moral and political philosophy." —Richard Kraut, author of The Quality of Life "The scholarship behind the book—the volume of Anglophone philosophy Perreau-Saussine had to absorb, inside and outside MacIntyre's corpus—is hugely impressive. And we owe Pinkoski a debt for doing the unglamorous kind of work Perreau-Saussine himself did first." —Commonweal "One of the most striking elements in the Foreword by Pierre Manet and throughout Perreau-Saussine's subtle rendering of Alasdair MacIntyre's intellectual contributions is the recognition that liberalism is deeply f lawed as a social-political ideology and yet at the same time, cannot be abandoned as a political framework because it allows for subjective ethical freedom." —Studies in Christian Ethics

Libertad e igualdad : conferencia en el Collège de France

La conferencia con la que el autor puso fin a su larga carrera como profesor y como figura pública.Presentamos en este volumen la última conferencia que Raymond Aron pronunció en el Collège de France el 4 de abril de 1978. En esta lección magistral que pone fin a su larga carrera como profesor y como figura pública, el autor, en busca de una verdad común o al menos de un bien común, elabora una tipología de las libertades, evalúa su contenido, reflexiona sobre las relaciones entre libertad e igualdad y, con esa preocupación cívica que jamás lo ha abandonado, aborda la crisis y el porvenir de las democracias liberales.
