摘要

Macintyre’s “After Virtue” is an indelible masterpiece that instilled an orderly trinity of moral mechanics within a state of disorder in modernity. This paper graphically maps Macintyre’s depiction of moral simulacra, the pursuit of internal and external goods, and his notion of practice and extends his work using Kolb’s experiential learning and Kohlberg’s moral development theory to further show how institutions, including corporations, do morally reflect and learn as they breach the virtues necessary to achieve internal goods. By using the Volkswagen dieselgate crisis, this paper elucidates the value of Macintyre’s “After Virtue” in practice and its contribution to the modern moral context. This expanded model gives corporations a useful visual representation of their moral character and serves to remind institutions of when and how, while seeking external benefits, they can become dominant and upset the peace of the community. This approach is especially useful in that, amidst the new state of disorder, institutions are incapable of discerning their moral disposition and oblivious to moral crisis.
