麦金泰尔是现代复兴美德伦理学的代表人物之一，在其代表作《追寻美德》中，麦金泰尔构建了他的美德伦理学体系，并在其之后的两部作品《谁之正义？何种合理性？》以及《三种对立的道德探究观》中麦金泰尔进一步补充和丰富了其美德伦理学构想。麦金泰尔通过分析当代的伦理学所存在的种种问题指出了启蒙筹划以来现代伦理学的种种缺陷，并认为这些缺陷使得当代主流的伦理学思想都不可能成功。他在反对道德普遍主义的同时也拒绝了相对主义，麦金泰尔提出了自己对传统的独特看法，并将其理论构建于历史传统以及共同体之上，他希望以此克服当代伦理学所面临的诸多困难。那么麦金泰尔是否成功，通过分析笔者认为麦金泰尔的理论有着内在的不一致，因而难以实现其伦理目标。

Alasdair MacIntyre is one of the representatives of renaissance virtue ethics. In his masterpiece After Virtue, MacIntyre built his moral ethics system, and he further supplemented and enriched his conception of virtue ethics in the following two works: Whose Justice? Which Rationality?andThree Rival Versions of Moral Enquiry. By analyzing the problems existing in contemporary ethics, MacIntyre pointed out various defects of modern ethics since the enlightenment project, and considered these defects make the current mainstream ethics theories impossible to succeed. While rejecting moral universalism, he also rejected relativism. MacIntyre put forward his unique view of tradition and built his theory on historical traditions and on its communities in the hope of overcoming the difficulties faced by contemporary ethics. Well, will MacIntyre succeed ? Through analysis, the author believes that MacIntyre’s theory has inherent inconsistencies and it is difficult to achieve its ethical goals.
