A book delves into Alasdair MacIntyre's reflections on the university
José Manuel Giménez Amaya and Sergio Sánchez-Migallón are committed to recovering the dialogue between the different sciences and the disciplines of Philosophy and theology in order to avoid the fragmentation of the university.
José Manuel Giménez Amaya and Sergio Sánchez Migallón, professors at the Ecclesiastical School of Philosophy, have published the book *Diagnóstico de la Universidad en Alasdair MacIntyre* (EUNSA).
For the authors, the work thread can be described as the natural evolution of the British philosopher's project begun in After Virtue: A Study in Moral Theory, 1981. "In it, he diagnosed a lamentable disarray in modern moral Philosophy , which infected the entire social ethos, and for whose solution he proposed a return to a global anthropological and cosmological conception such as the Aristotelian one. Without this, human knowledge and life would have been fragmented, losing its particular and overall meaning," say the professors of the University of Navarra.
According to them, MacIntyre "similarly perceives in the contemporary university the same disintegrating symptoms of modern society and also proposes to recover the integrating elements that it had at the beginning: the dialogue between the various sciences and the disciplines of Philosophy and theology".
José Manuel Giménez Amaya is Full Professor of Anatomy and Embryology and PhD in Philosophy. He has been researcher in Neuroscience and Visiting Professor in several European and North American universities. He currently teaches teaching at the University of Navarra and directs the group of research 'Science, Reason and Faith'.
Sergio Sánchez-Migallón holds a Ph.D. and is Senior Associate Professor Ethics. He has published numerous programs of study phenomenological moral philosophers, as well as on general ethics. He currently directs the Institute of Anthropology and Ethics at the University of Navarra and serves Associate Dean the Ecclesiastical School of Philosophy.
