Personal de CNA, 23 de mayo de 2025 \/ 16:30 pm (CNA).<\/p>\n

Alasdair MacIntyre, una figura imponente en la filosof\u00eda moral y un converso al catolicismo al que se le atribuye haber revivido la disciplina de la \u00e9tica de la virtud, falleci\u00f3 el 21 de mayo a los 96 a\u00f1os. Su obra fundamental de 1981 \u201cTras la virtud<\/a>\u201d reformul\u00f3 la filosof\u00eda moral y pol\u00edtica contempor\u00e1nea, enfatizando la virtud sobre los marcos utilitarios o deontol\u00f3gicos. <\/p>\n

Conocido por muchos como \u201cel m\u00e1s importante\u201d<\/a> fil\u00f3sofo cat\u00f3lico moderno, el viaje intelectual y espiritual de MacIntyre abarc\u00f3 el ate\u00edsmo, el marxismo, el anglicanismo y, finalmente, el catolicismo romano. <\/p>\n

El intelecto sorprendente, el ingenio agudo y la ense\u00f1anza exigente de MacIntyre influyeron profundamente en generaciones de estudiantes y acad\u00e9micos.<\/p>\n

\u201cSe ha apagado una gran luz\u201d, escribi\u00f3 Patrick Deneen<\/a>,<\/u> profesor de filosof\u00eda pol\u00edtica en la Universidad de Notre Dame, en respuesta a la noticia del fallecimiento de MacIntyre.<\/p>\n

\u201cNunca he conocido, ni espero conocer jam\u00e1s, a un fil\u00f3sofo tan fascinante como el autor de \u2018Tras la virtud\u2019\u201d, dijo Christopher Kaczor<\/a>, uno de los antiguos alumnos de MacIntyre y miembro visitante del Centro de \u00c9tica y Cultura de Nicola en la Universidad de Notre Dame, donde MacIntyre fue investigador distinguido permanente hasta su muerte. <\/p>\n

Nacido en Glasgow, Escocia, en 1929, hijo de Eneas y Greta (Chalmers) MacIntyre, obtuvo t\u00edtulos de maestr\u00eda en la Universidad de Manchester y Oxford. Su carrera acad\u00e9mica comenz\u00f3 en 1951 en Manchester, seguida de puestos en Leeds, Essex y Oxford. <\/p>\n

En 1969, se mud\u00f3 a los Estados Unidos, convirti\u00e9ndose en un \u201cn\u00f3mada intelectual\u201d con cargos como profesor de historia de las ideas en la Universidad Brandeis, decano en la Universidad de Boston, profesor Henry Luce en Wellesley, profesor W. Alton Jones en Vanderbilt y profesor McMahon-Hank en Notre Dame.<\/p>\n

Aunque nunca obtuvo un doctorado, recibi\u00f3 10 doctorados honorarios y nombramientos durante su vida, bromeando en un momento dado: \u201cNo llegar\u00e9 a decir que tienes una mente deformada si tienes un doctorado, pero tendr\u00e1s que esforzarte mucho para seguir siendo culto\u201d.<\/p>\n

El ingenio de MacIntyre brill\u00f3 en su afirmaci\u00f3n de haber \u201cseparado a los Beatles<\/a>\u201d al prestarle una escalera a su vecina de arriba, Yoko Ono, en 1966, lo que la llev\u00f3 a conocer a John Lennon.<\/p>\n

Tambi\u00e9n ense\u00f1\u00f3 en Duke, Yale y Princeton, y es expresidente de la Asociaci\u00f3n Filos\u00f3fica Estadounidense. Sus numerosos galardones incluyen la Medalla de Aquino de 2010 y membres\u00edas en la Academia Estadounidense de Artes y Ciencias (1985), la Academia Brit\u00e1nica (1994), la Real Academia Irlandesa (1999) y la Sociedad Filos\u00f3fica Estadounidense (2005).<\/p>\n

\u201cTras la virtud\u201d de MacIntyre, considerado un cl\u00e1sico filos\u00f3fico del siglo XX, critic\u00f3 la fragmentaci\u00f3n moral moderna, abogando por un retorno a la \u00e9tica aristot\u00e9lica. Sus otras obras, incluyendo \u201cMarxismo y cristianismo\u201d, \u201c\u00bfJusticia de qui\u00e9n? \u00bfQu\u00e9 racionalidad?\u201d y \u201cTres versiones rivales de la investigaci\u00f3n moral\u201d, exploraron las tradiciones morales y la racionalidad. <\/p>\n

Su viaje espiritual fue tan din\u00e1mico como el intelectual. Inicialmente considerando convertirse en ministro presbiteriano en la d\u00e9cada de 1940, se hizo anglicano en la d\u00e9cada de 1950, luego ateo en la d\u00e9cada de 1960, llam\u00e1ndose a s\u00ed mismo famosamente un \u201cateo cat\u00f3lico romano\u201d porque el Dios cat\u00f3lico \u201cval\u00eda la pena ser negado\u201d. <\/p>\n

En 1983, a los 55 a\u00f1os, abraz\u00f3 el catolicismo romano y el tomismo, inspirado por su te\u00f3logo favorito del siglo XX, Joseph Ratzinger (el difunto Papa Benedicto XVI), y finalmente convencido por los argumentos tomistas que encontr\u00f3 por primera vez como estudiante universitario<\/a>, \u201cno en forma de filosof\u00eda moral, sino en la de una cr\u00edtica de la cultura inglesa desarrollada por miembros de la orden dominica\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmpliamente considerado como el fil\u00f3sofo m\u00e1s importante en la \u00e9tica de la virtud moderna\u201d, dijo Jennifer Newsome Martin, directora del Centro de \u00c9tica y Cultura de Nicola (dCEC) de la Universidad de Notre Dame, en una declaraci\u00f3n a CNA, \u201cAlasdair MacIntyre demostr\u00f3 rigor acad\u00e9mico y una claridad de pensamiento alpina. Tambi\u00e9n fue un generoso amigo del Centro de \u00c9tica y Cultura de Nicola como nuestro investigador distinguido permanente residente; qu\u00e9 honor fue que eligiera al dCEC para ser el lugar de su trabajo acad\u00e9mico despu\u00e9s de retirarse del departamento de filosof\u00eda en Notre Dame. Todos estamos desconsolados por su fallecimiento. Su tremendo legado, sin embargo, continuar\u00e1 resonando en la vida del centro\u201d.<\/p>\n

Robert P. George, profesor de jurisprudencia McCormick de la Universidad de Princeton y director del Programa James Madison sobre Ideales e Instituciones Estadounidenses, record\u00f3<\/a> el \u201cingenio pugnaz\u201d de MacIntyre y record\u00f3 que \u201calgo sorprendente sobre el profesor MacIntyre era que era imposible clasificarlo ideol\u00f3gicamente. \u00bfEra progresista? No realmente. \u00bfEra conservador? No. \u00bfCentrista? Tampoco. Era \u2018sui generis\u2019. Requiescat in pace\u201d.<\/p>\n

Le sobreviven sus hijas Jean y Toni de su primer matrimonio y su esposa, Lynn Joy.<\/p>\n
