MacIntyre's post-liberalism was not political

Alastair MacIntyre was one of those rare philosophers whose impact transcended the boundaries of the academy. Following his death in May, a number of commentators have tried to link MacIntyre’s critique of modernity with the post-liberal political movement. Paul Kelly argues that while MacIntyre was one of the sharpest critics of the intellectual foundations of liberal thought, he would not have aligned himself with the politics of post-liberalism.
