Untethered from external guidance, the world after the enlightenment spins its wheels but fails to gain any moral traction. Its reasoning is solipsistic and more about soothing the self rather than exercising it to grow in virtue. MacIntyre performs a surgical dissection that opens up this world, unveiling just how little is there.
