摘要
"自我"作为一个反身代词指的是每个独立的人类个体。现代自我具有什么特性?怎样理解现代自我?是当代哲学家、思想家讨论自我的一个基本方面。麦金太尔对现代自我的观点,是通过他对现代自我的批评中体现出来的。麦金太尔的这一批评,在其重要著作《德性之后》中有着集中的表述。一情感主义的自我麦金太尔是一个伦理史学家,他对现代自我的批评是从对传统社会与现代社会的分野为出发点的。
McItyre regards modern self as sentimental self.Modern self,whether it is the self with subjectivism or the self without ultimate standard,indicates that it is in an oppositional relationship along with others and social background.McIntyre brings out the concept of descriptive self,which means to put the specific activity of self into a bigger co-related background and to treat self as a descriptive unified unity.
