Sažetak
The author presents Petitt's reaction to the central dichotomy that ensues from MacIntyre's thinking about politics on the borderline between the liberal thought (as the continuation of the Englightenment) and the communitarian thought (Aristotelianism-inspired but characteristic of the anti-enlightenment, romatic tradition). Petitt considers that dichotomy mystifying, since it conceals other interesting alternatives, such as pre-liberal, republican political thought. He tries to prove the republican tradition worthy of serious consideration and claims that it can be evolved into a truly appealing political stance. The author concisely describes liberalism and communitarinism as seen by MacIntyre and Petitt. Then he goes on to describe republicanism, as seen by Petitt. And finally, the author lists critical objections to Petitt's description of republicanism due to which that political alternative does not seem as attractive as Petitt claims.
