Abstract
In 1981 1 published first edition of After Virtue. In that book I concluded both that we still, in spite of efforts of three centuries of moral philosophy and one of sociology, lack any coherent rationally defensible statement of a liberal individualist point of view and that the Aristotelian tradition can be restated in a way that restores rationality and intelligibility to our own moral and social attitudes and commitments. But I also recognized that these conclusions required support from an account of what rationality is, in light of which rival and incompatible evaluations of arguments of After Virtue could be adequately accounted for. I promised a book in which I should attempt to say both what makes it rational to act in one way rather than another and what makes it rational to advance and defend one conception of practical rationality rather than another. Here it is. [P. ix]
