MACINTYRE, ALASDAIR

MacIntyre: virtue is intelligible only inside a practice with a tradition and a community. CoCA constructs the practice (the Liturgy), the tradition (the Lexicon), and the community (the Provisional Collective) deliberately. The artist who joins is offered the three at once. The Vow of Calm is intelligible only inside the Vow of Non-Assignment, inside the Doctrine of Reverence, inside the Cathedral. The community is the syllabus.
