Question

This book uses the example of the Sophists to argue that people who believe they understand the world logically can be easily manipulated. This book imagines King Charles II asking the Royal Society why a dead fish weighs more than a live one to claim that theories in the social sciences are no longer predictive. This book laments the loss of unifying commonplaces that existed in the “predecessor culture.” Inspired by A Canticle for Leibowitz, (15[1])this book (15[1])opens by describing (15[1])a society where words like (*) “neutrinos” and “gravity” are used senselessly after understanding of science disappears. (10[3])After describing the abolition of taboos in Polynesia, this book calls Nietzsche “the King Kamehameha (10[1])II (10[1])of the European tradition.” (10[1])This book criticizes the Enlightenment’s (10[1])“moral project” and its abandonment of teleology. For 10 points, name this book defending Aristotelian ethics (-5[1])by Alasdair (10[2])MacIntyre. (10[1])■END■ (10[3]0[5])
