Este libro se ha convertido en un clásico de la filosofía moral contemporánea por dos razones: de un lado, porque hace un diagnóstico brillante de la moral de nuestro tiempo y, de otro, porque fue pionero de una línea de pensamiento moral y político que no ha dejado de crecer desde su publicación: el comunitarismo. El estilo filosófico de Alasdair MacIntyre es el de un provocador que critica tanto los sistemas morales de los filósofos modernos como los límites convencionales de las disciplinas académicas. Aunque el diagnóstico que hace de la moral en las postrimerías del siglo XX es desalentador, sostiene que aún es posible una ética de las virtudes, pero sólo con una condición: que renunciemos a hacerla universal. Para el profesor MacIntyre, lo que hoy hay que buscar son nuevas formas de comunidad que configuren determinados modelos de persona y nos permitan hablar de virtudes, es decir de la excelencia de tales modelos: «Sólo así se podrá construir una moral realmente capaz de movilizar a los individuos de nuestras atomizadas sociedades actuales en torno a un proyecto común».
