This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th and 21st century philosopher and moral theorist, Alasdair MacIntyre's essay "How To Seem Virtuous Without Actually Being So".

It focuses upon how two substantive moral approaches, Aristotelian and Humean, differ from each other. He also admits to "begging the question" in taking an Aristotelian approach, but argues that there is no position one can take that is not question-begging in that manner.
