SUMMARY:MacIntyre’s Dependent Rational Animals
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER BELOW\n5:00-6:30 p.m. | Dinner Provided \nThis event is designated for current University of Chicago graduate and undergraduate students. University of Chicago faculty and staff are also welcome to attend. Others interested in auditing should contact William Hurley at whurley@lumenchristi.org. \n“What is ‘in your character’ (NOT ‘in your wallet’)?”  Who is your guide to a happy\, fulfilled life–Nietzsche or Aristotle?  Given the ethical confusion\, indeed meltdown\, afflicting our society\, who offers the most reliable “moral compass” to help us find our way? \nThis reading course will read and discuss Dependent Rational Animals by Alisdair MacIntyre.  Drawing on Aristotle\, MacIntyre describes our biologically rooted condition and the need to cultivate the virtues that take account of our shared human condition.  Macintyre criticizes Aristotle’s ideal of the “great souled” man;  he argues for the cultivation of virtues that acknowledge our inescapable dependence and inter-dependency.  \nA midlife convert from atheistic Marxism to Catholicism\, MacIntyre is considered by many to be the most important moral philosopher of the past 50 years.  He died in the spring of 2025\, making a re-assessment of his life’s work all the more timely. \nCopies of Dependent Rational Animals will be provided to all participants. Weekly meetings are held over dinner. Weekly reading assignments are kept at or below 40 pages. \n  \nSCHEDULE\n\nOct. 16  Introduction (readings available in class Google Folder)\nOct. 23  DRA\, preface + chapters 1-4\, pp. 1-41\nOct. 30  DRA\, chapters 5-7\, pp. 43-80.\nNov. 6  DRA\, chapters 8-9\, pp. 81-118.\nNov. 13  DRA\, chapters 10-11\, pp. 119-146\nNov. 20  DRA\, chapter 12-13\, pp. 147-166
