MacIntyre in the Conflicts of Modernity
11th June: 8:00 am - 12th June: 8:00 pm BST
The Aquinas Institute are co-sponsoring a conference with the Canterbury Institute, and The Centre for Theology, Law, and Culture at Pusey House, on 11 and 12 June at Campion Hall, Christ Church, and Pusey House.
The death of Alasdair Chalmers MacIntyre (12 January 1929 – 21 May 2025) provides all who are indebted to his work with an opportunity to consider how he has made them rethink those areas of philosophy to which he made outstanding contributions. This conference considers how we ought to commemorate the work that MacIntyre began, whether that be by developing and deepening it, by refining and correcting what he overlooked or dismissed, or by sharply disagreeing with the positions he held. It will consider how his work provokes us to redefine our positions in light of the arguments he made. As he wrote in his last book: ‘In philosophy it is only rarely that anyone or any argument has the last word. Debate almost always continues, and this is notably so with the topics and issues with which I am concerned in this book’ – MacIntyre, Ethics in the Conflicts of Modernity (2016).
Speakers include: Professor Jason Blakely, Pepperdine; Dr Dominic Burbidge, Regent’s Park; Professor David Cloutier, Notre Dame; Professor John Cottingham, Reading; Dr Daniel De Haan, Blackfriars & Campion; Professor Anne Jeffrey, Baylor; Professor Christopher Kaczor, Loyola; Andreas Masvie, Christ Church; Professor Melissa Moschella, Notre Dame; Professor Stephen Mulhall, New College; Professor Mark C. Murphy, Georgetown; Professor Tracey Rowland, Notre Dame, Australia.
