Sažetak
Following the example of two contemporary authors, this contribution seeks to enlighten the method and important aspects of the modern Aristotelian approach to ethics. In relation to this, the article is divided into two parts: the first one treats the particularistic approach to ethics with its intrinsic communitarian character, whilst the second one throws light on the universalistic method. Alasdair MacIntrye was chosen as a representative of the first approach, whilst the works of Martha Nussbaum were selected as an example of the second method. Although their views differ on critical issues, both scholars present a specific understanding of Aristotle, and subsequently of teleology, and lastly of a departure from Principalism. Despite plausible elements which can be found in work of MacIntyre and Nussbaum, the author of this article concludes that both approaches contain questionable points which one should not easily dismiss.
