Project: Thomistic Aristotelians on Goods and Rights
Following Alasdair MacIntyre's passing, my project has become that of integrating my understanding of his "Common Goods and Political Reasoning" research project, and of his broader engagement with the work of Jacques Maritain, with my own research into the latter, which I have undertaken with his encouragement and under his inspiration.
