After reading through some of MacIntyre's works recently along with watching through your videos, I must confess that I have underestimated him. I'm looking forward to learning more from him. Thank you for this series!
Virtue ethics thinks that having concepts of virtue and the attempts to uphold them are the same thing as being virtuous. In actuality, virtue could have only ever been an embodied virtue. However, the embodied virtue is nothing more than a public work, which fails to become moral or virtuous because it fails in the idea of becoming moral by being merely presteriological. It is a public work, and can be no more than that.
You're spoiling us with all this content! Thanks :)
You're welcome!
I produce these for my classes and students, but they end up being useful for others as well
@@GregoryBSadler I'm so glad you are so generous with this stuff.

I'd avoid generalizing about virtue ethics
