Abstract
This essay recounts the continuing influence of Marx on Alasdair MacIntyre’s Aristotelian practical philosophy, first tracing the latter’s commitment to democracy and account of the nature of flourishing communities to his reading of Marx. It then discusses MacIntyre’s reappropriation of Marx’s Capital in his most recent book, Ethics in the Conflicts of Modernity, noting the contrast between MacIntyre’s Nietzschean reading of modern morality in After Virtue and his Marxian reading of morality in his latest book. After contrasting MacIntyre’s position with Althusser’s account of ideology, it concludes by arguing that MacIntyre’s recent reappropriation of Marxian concepts, while selective, points to the need to uncover new economic institutions capable of realizing his neo-Aristotelian practical philosophy.
