Alasdair MacIntyre and F. A. Hayek on the Abuse of Reason

MacIntyre and Hayek, starting from very different political, philosophical, and religious viewpoints, conclude that the Enlightenment’s misunderstanding of rationality has sent the West in the wrong direction. For MacIntyre, that false road leads to emotivist ethics and nihilism, whereas for Hayek it leads to social engineering and serfdom.
