A landmark collection of philosophical essays, Against the Self-Images of the Age presents Alasdair MacIntyre's incisive and often provocative critiques of the dominant ideological and philosophical currents of the twentieth century. MacIntyre argues with characteristic rigour against the self-congratulatory assumptions embedded in modern liberalism, positivism, existentialism, and Marxism, challenging readers to interrogate the intellectual frameworks they take for granted. Written with a combative yet scholarly tone, the essays range across topics including moral philosophy, political ideology, the philosophy of social science, and the nature of rationality. MacIntyre illustrates how ideology often masquerades as neutral description, and he holds contemporary thinkers to a demanding standard of philosophical consistency and historical self-awareness. This collection remains an essential text for anyone grappling with the intersections of ethics, politics, and the history of ideas.
