Abstract

This article examines the work of Alasdair MacIntyre, with particular attention to the geographical and geopolitical dimensions that underpin his thought. It outlines the central arguments concerning the relationship between morality, tradition, and rationality, situating them within broader debates in geographical thought and geopolitical implications. Special emphasis is given to MacIntyre’s critique of modern individualism and his call for a return to Aristotelian virtue ethics as a framework capable of providing coherence to moral life. The analysis also highlights how his reflections on community and practices clashes with modern international politics. Through this overview, the article provides readers with essential insights into the geographical implicit reminds of MacIntyre’s thought, while also offering points of reflection for future discussion across disciplinary boundaries
