MacIntyre makes a distinction between goods âinternal to practicesâ and goods âexternal to practicesâ, and he claims that the virtues are necessary for internal goods but not external goods. Explain what he means by this, drawing on examples from this weekâs media and from either Hillâs discussion of environmental responsibility or Robinsonâs discussion of military ethics (focus your discussion on just one of those, but feel free to discuss the other in reply to other peopleâs posts). For example, provide examples of internal goods within practices that impact the environment (such as farming) or the practice of soldiering, explaining how they differ from external goods that people engaged in this practice might pursue, and how someone might be prevented from realizing that internal good if they lacked the virtues (make sure to be specific about which virtues you are referring to).
