520 $a Indeed, virtue ethics seems to require metaphysical and epistemological realism. Any further work ought to be developed along such lines.
520 $a More than anyone else, Alasdair MacIntyre and Stanley Hauerwas have helped revive contemporary interest in virtue ethics. MacIntyre has helped shape philosophical concerns, while Hauerwas has emphasized Christian ethics. Crucially, they have recast Aristotelian and Thomistic virtue ethics into a Wittgensteinian linguistic framework. But that transformation away from a metaphysically and epistemologically realistic framework into a Wittgensteinian one is not workable, for they beg the most important questions. They either deny access to an extra-linguistic realm, which they yet seem to presuppose, or their claims are merely those of a community which they do not sufficiently specify.
520 $a They also beg the question about the meaningfulness of behavior. While arguing that meaning is use, and that there is no such thing as a private language, they nonetheless presuppose the primacy of first-person awarenesses to fix rules, properly use terms, etc. Furthermore, even within language-games, behaviors will not fix meanings, for they are inherently ambiguous.
520 $a They also presuppose that a self exists apart from language that provides the identity of a character in a story. Narrative unity cannot supply that sameness since a narrative is just a set of linguistic ascriptions. But since those sets change whenever a new ascription is made, the character cannot be the same person through such changes. Thus, the person cannot grow, especially in virtue.
520 $a Both authors also assume the truth of Christianity, but their Wittgensteinian approach creates several difficulties. If language and world are internally related, then the prospects for special revelation are dim. God's breaking through language bifurcates the world and language.
520 $a Last, MacIntyre and Hauerwas fail to rebut the charge of relativism. A given society might make its world by its use of its language such that incredible atrocities could be justified. Even appeals to the Bible will not necessarily help since various Christian communities construct its meaning by their use of their own language.
