The thesis is an effort to expand Alasdair MacIntyre’s theory of virtues by adding a third set of virtues, namely, the virtues of shared responsibility. Therefore, we set out to explain the historical, plural, and unfinished character of his conception of virtue, by means of the intertwining of the concepts of practices, narrative order of a single human life, and tradition. Then, considering the weakness and dependence of the human animal, we demonstrate the naturalistic and open aspects of the concept of the human good that underpin the transition from animality to rationality, analyzing the concepts of animal human identity, practical rationality, and flourishing. Finally, in order to recognize the limits of MacIntyre’s virtue theory regarding the implications of human vulnerability and dependence resulting from its animal condition, we propose the addition of a third set of virtues to MacIntyre’s typology, namely, the virtues of shared responsibility.
