El florecimiento humano en clave neoaristotélica

This article pursues a precise and limited objective: to describe in detail –and defend- the macintyrean conception of human flourishing as it has been exposed in her last book (2016). For this purpose it will be necessary to make a theoretical detour by dedicating a few pages to present the conceptions of the good and the good that stand out both from a pre-philosophical perspective and also from the currently predominant expressionist position in moral philosophy. As a whole, the argument highlights the continuity of our author's thinking, especially after the publication of After Virtue (1981). MacIntyre's work can be conceived as an extensive cultural fight against emotivism; as a struggle, prolonged in time, for trying to make the neo-Aristotelian tradition open again in our society. Everything leads to the understanding of the following principle: there is no human flowering possible without the cultivation of those qualities of character and understanding that allow us to reach the true goods of our nature.
