Alasdair MacIntyre, the eminent moral philosopher, has died. His work was inspiring for its close interest in the practical matters of life, and in particular for its examination of ‘the good life’, and the importance there of ‘professional contentment’. MacIntyre saw in Aristotelian ethics a sure guide, with happiness, or eudaimonia, a matter of the development of your character and practical wisdom now, rather than some guessing at a projected future. MacIntyre’s best known book After Virtue was partly inspired by his reading of Thomas Kuhn’s Structure of Scientific Revolutions, and here we find the link with The Good Science Project. For a central feature of GSP has been the desire to centre attention on ‘daily science’, our ordinary practice, so correcting the slight distortion given to science when utility becomes its only lodestar.
