While the individual chapters are wide-ranging, once pieced together they comprise a penetrating and focused argument about the price of modernity. In this classic work, Alasdair MacIntyre examines the historical and conceptual roots of the idea of virtue, diagnoses the reasons for its absence in personal and public life, and offers a tentative proposal for its recovery. Now, twenty-five years later, the University of Notre Dame Press is pleased to release the third edition of After Virtue, which includes a new prologue “After Virtue after a Quarter of a Century.” Newsweek called it “a stunning new study of ethics by one of the foremost moral philosophers in the English-speaking world.” Since that time, the book has been translated into more than fifteen foreign languages and has sold over one hundred thousand copies. ![]() ![]() ![]() When After Virtue first appeared in 1981, it was recognized as a significant and potentially controversial critique of contemporary moral philosophy. ![]() ![]() Use this post to tell us all about the books you read in the past week.

Sumerian votive figures from Tell Asmar, Iraq. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Roth, a former student of White’s and the current president of Wesleyan University, reflects on the significance of the book across a broad range of fields, including history, literary theory, and philosophy. This fortieth-anniversary edition includes a new preface in which White explains his motivation for writing Metahistory and discusses how reactions to the book informed his later writing. ![]() The first work in the history of historiography to concentrate on historical writing as writing, Metahistory sets out to deprive history of its status as a bedrock of factual truth, to redeem narrative as the substance of historicality, and to identify the extent to which any distinction between history and ideology on the basis of the presumed scientificity of the former is spurious. To support his thesis, White analyzes the complex writing styles of historians like Michelet, Ranke, Tocqueville, and Burckhardt, and philosophers of history such as Marx, Hegel, Nietzsche, and Croce. This latent poetic and linguistic content―which White dubs the "metahistorical element"―essentially serves as a paradigm for what an "appropriate" historical explanation should be. ![]() In this classic work, White argues that a deep structural content lies beyond the surface level of historical texts. Since its initial publication in 1973, Hayden White’s Metahistory has remained an essential book for understanding the nature of historical writing. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() However, when she is contacted by convicts who are willing to negotiate and provide unaffected DNA samples, she sees a glimmer of hope and embarks on a dangerous journey to save humanity.

It’s under-documented, as queer histories often are. But even so, the full story of this place – how it served as a refuge for queer people in the dictatorship years – seems to still fly under the radar. It’s become a sought-after beach paradise, with tourists from Brazil and Argentina flocking to the famed bohemian enclave and stunning shoreline. The popularity of Cabo Polonio has exploded since I first visited, twenty years ago now, on the trip where I first met the women whose lives inspired this novel. How well known is the story of Cabo Polonio in Uruguay? Set in Carolina’s native Uruguay, Cantoras tells the story of five lesbians through the dictatorship years of the 1970s and 80s, inspired by real women who set up a community in the coastal town of Cabo Polonio.
