Based on his 1997 Carus Lectures to the American Philosophical Association, this book presents noted scholar Alasdair MacIntyre's comparison of humans to other intelligent animals, especially dolphins, and his exploration of the impact of these virtues, particularly on our treatment of the disabled.
