"On his passing, Alasdair MacIntyre was honored from diverse perspectives for having reinvigorated moral philosophy in our time. This beautifully curated collection of his statements across a lifetime is a kind of testament to just how profound and wide-ranging he was. The book introduces and reintroduces his thought to an intellectual world that still needs it." —Samuel Moyn, author of Liberalism against Itself"We are in debt to Knight and Wicks for this significant book. They are skilled readers of MacIntyre, as this selection of essays makes clear. MacIntyre is, hopefully, destined to be read for many years. This book will make that possible." —Stanley Hauerwas, author of Jesus Changes Everything
