Três objeções de Alasdair MacIntyre aplicadas ao debate multicultural

Abstract

According to Alasdair MacIntyre, there are three problems that pervade most contemporary political struggles and which have not been given sufficient attention: a) there is a conceptual incommensurability of the adverse arguments in the debates; b) the ongoing arguments represent impersonal rational arguments; c) the conceptually distinct premises of the used arguments have a great diversity of historical origins. From these three settings and their consequences, we will apply MacIntyre's critical reasoning to a specific set of conflicting arguments in the field of multiculturalism. Our aim is to explore the different conceptions and principles that underlie the positions seen and also to make a balance on the communitarian justification for a multicultural political model.
