"Alasdair MacIntyre: An Intellectual Biography by ﾉmile Perreau-Saussine seeks to defend the Scottish philosopher's standing as one of the most profound theorists of capitalist modernity on either side of the Atlantic. . . . For Perreau-Saussine, the central intellectual problems with which MacIntyre was concerned were the moral vacuity of liberalism and Stalinism, the possibility of the common good and collective reasonings in an individualistic age, and the secularization of politics. Despite his explicit commitment to not sullying himself with trivial matters, along the way we do learn a great deal about MacIntyre's life and how it informed his unique blend of Marxist-Catholic Scholasticism." -Jacobin
