Takes up the discussion from last chapter does being committed to shared language and shared deliberation trap us in a prison? To ask this question is to presume that rationality is a singular affair. But MacIntyre's argument is that rationality is a communal affair. This observation leads to Nietzsche's challenge to live outside of relationships of giving and receiving. But we cannot respond t...

    thanks for this, would you describe Hegel's Alienation as a sensation of being misplaced in the world.. like feeling "alien" to the situation and by making our consciousness aware of itself we would somehow disconnect ourselves from that sensation of misplacement? .. Then Marx comes and materializes the idea just like you said at the end. thanks again

    Hi Jeff, I'm completely new to this ("What, morals?" -self burn), so I apologise if I have the wrong idea. Are you and MacIntyre saying that there is no [real] free will? For example, what if I am a fifth generation Trolley operator? But I don't want to be. As a child, my father invested in my future by sending me to the top Trolley Schools in Europe, damn near sent the family broke, but he did it anyway. All because he had decided that I would be a trolley operator. And yet despite being inducted at a young age, along with ignoring my father and grandfather's classic Trolley banter, I exercised my own free will and said "No. No, I will not be a trolley operator." But once I lost my job at the university (their humanities dept became an Amazon Prime eMarketing course or something), I soon realised that the bills weren't going to pay themselves. At this point, I am middle aged with not a lot of career options. I have actively lived my life to ensure that I never saw the inside of trolley. But now I am at a crossroads. Is my moral agency the lesser for having taken the trolley job? I understand that I'm buying into the whole 'One or the other' argument, and clearly I should not have had children or bought a house in the first place, given that my financial situation was constantly in flux. But the market used to be okay, and condoms break; stuff happens. So now I am a Trolley operator. I don't want to be, but I have actively made the choice to feed and house my family. But I still have Free Will, right? (Pardon the comment vomit :))

    • @jeffnicholas3626
      @jeffnicholas3626 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      HI Ayvee, I'm not sure where either Mac or myself said there's no real free will, and I'm really lost on how the example makes that point. The point that Mac and I are trying to make is that we HAVE agency but we often forget that we do. So, yeah, sucks that Amazon took your cush humanities job from you, but that's capitalism. Can't change it. No, in fact we can change it. And that does not mean that we should follow in our father's footsteps. It means recognizing that we are part of a community of story-tellers, and we have some input to the story, but so do others. And maybe we should figure out how to listen to each other.
