Özet

“Nasıl yaşamalıyım?” sorusu MacIntyre’ın ahlak felsefesinde merkez bir yer edinir.

Onun ahlak projesi temelde bu soruya verilecek bir yanıtla şekillenir. Bu soruya yanıt vermedeki kararlılığı büyük bir yankı uyandıracak cinstendir, çünkü o, dinin fi

Abstract

“How should I live?” is the question to which MacIntyre gives thecentral place in his moral inquiry. MacIntyre, throughout his famous book AfterVirtue (AV), criticizes modern moral philosophy for failing to provide a rationaland justified answer to this question. His moral project is predominantlyshaped by the quest for this answer. What he offered had great impact simplybecause he applied to religion or the idea of God to explain morality at a timewhen religion lost its charm among philosophers. However, MacIntyre neverdiscusses this connection between religion and morality in a complete and detailedway. Therefore, any examination of his reference to religion for a theoryof morality needs to synthesize his different statements from very differenttexts. In doing this, the article aims to provide a complete picture of his gradually-evolved understanding of the role of God in moral philosophy both at atheoretical and practical level with a critical outlook.
