This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th and 21st century philosopher and moral theorist, Alasdair MacIntyre's essay "How To Seem Virtuous Without Actually Being So".
It focuses upon MacIntyre's contention that not only do we not have any substantive and systematic shared public morality, what is available to us in our late modern culture is at best a shared rhetoric, and it remain inadequate for understanding and inculcating the virtues. He provides three examples where some adequate understanding of virtues in conflict would be needed.
