Macintyre's Ethical Narrative Research
by Song Wei
About This Novel
As an outstanding representative of contemporary American virtue ethics, Alasdair MacIntyre uses narrative as his ethical research method, making his theory a dynamic description of the search for narrative truth. His ethical thought marks the narrative turn of Western ethics. In this turn, ethics uses literary narrative to replace strong rules and laws, uses literary narrative to elaborate ethical propositions, and organically combines narrative as a rhetorical method with narrative that expresses abstract ethical thinking. MacIntyre uses narrative to construct virtue character, rational tradition and interpretive truth, making narrative a paradigm of ethics; this ethical narrative also presents the knowledge, tradition and truth of literature, making ethics the ontology of literature, and making ethical narratives have the original meaning of literature.
