Alasdair Chalmers MacIntyre ye un filosofo escocés, naixito
en 1929, coneixito per a suya contribucion á la filosofía moral e política, e,
tamien, per lo suyo treballo en a história d’a filosofía e a teologia. En estes
tiempos de ruina moral, me ye revenita una reflexion suya que comparto agora
con vusatros:
Virtues are dispositions not only to act in particular ways, but also to feel in particular ways. To act virtuously is not, as Kant was later to think, to act against inclination; it is to act from inclination formed by the cultivation of the virtues.
As virtuz son disposicions no soque ta actuar d’una traça
particular, sino, tamien, ta sentir d’una traça particular. Actuar virtuosament
no ye, como Kant se pensás, actuar cuentra o deseyo; ye actuar dende o deseyo
formato per lo cautivo d’as virtuz.
P.S. MacIntyre se convirtió á o
catolicismo en os anyos uitanta d’o pasato sieglo.
