MacIntyre\u27s Concept of Incommensurability

Autor piše o MacIntyreovoj uporabi pojma nesumjerljivosti u sferi filozofije politike. Prvi je pojam tako rabio Feyerabend, koji je nesumjerljivost stavio u temelj svoga relativističkog napada na liberalizam. MacIntyre se također koncentrira na kritiku liberalizma, no ne s anarhodadaističke, već s neoaristotelijansko-tomističke pozicije. Esej se sastoji od četiri kratka dijela: A) ukratko prikazuje MacIntyreovo razumijevanje pojma nesumjerljivosti u knjigama "After Virtue" i "Whose Justice? Which Rationality?"; B) uspoređuje MacIntyreova razmišljanja o odnosu nesumjerljivosti i prevođenja s Kuhnovim i Feyerabendovim rješenjima istog problema; C) prikazuje upotrebu nesumjerljivosti u knjizi "Three Rival Versions of Moral Enquiry"; D) pokušava vidjeti koliko je opasna MacIntyreova kritika kad se uperi protiv neuniverzalističkih liberala. Ako je nesumjerljivost tradicija činjenica, postaje li sam dokaz nesumjerljivosti fatalan problem za liberale? Na to pitanje autor želi odgovoriti ovim tekstom.The author writes about Maclntyrces usage of the concept of incommensurability in the sphere of the philosophy of politics. The concept was first used by Feyerabend who based it his relativist attack on liberalism. Maclntyre also focuses on the criticism of liberalism, not from the anarchodadaist but from the neo-aristotelianthomistic perspective. The essay consists of four short sections: section A gives a shotr review of Maclntyre\u27s understanding of the concept of incommensurability in the books “After Virtue“ and „Whose Justice? Which Rationality?“. Section B compares Maclntyre\u27s thinking about the incommensurability with Kuhn\u27s and Fayerabend\u27s solution of the same problem. Section C describes the use of incommensurability in the book „Three Rival Versions of Moral Enquiry“, section D tries to see how dangerous MacIntyre\u27s criticism is when directed at nonuniversalistic liberals. If incommensurability is a fact, does that make it an unsurmountable problem for liberals? This text is an attempt to answer that question
