Abstract

Although MacIntyre's main works are well known, there is an unpublished text that is rarely quoted and is relevant to understanding his theses on Politics. The text contains in greater detail than elsewhere in the MacIntyre´s work his theses on the common good. The purpose of this work is to set out these theses, complementing them with other articles by MacIntyre on the same subject, to give a more exact picture of his vision on the common good. In the wake of this presentation, a series of comments are made that arise from reading it.
