Summary/Abstract: In first chapters of this article MacIntyre's view of ethics is analyzed, together with his critics of liberalism as philosophical and political theory, as well as dominant ideological conception. In last chapters MacIntyre's view of the relation between politics and ethics is considered, along with the critical review of his theoretical positions. Macintyre's conception is regarded on the one hand as very broad, because the entire morality is reduced to ethical life, while on the other hand it is regarded as too narrow since it excludes certain essential aspects of deliberation which refers to the sphere of individual rights, the relations between communities, as well as distribution of goods within the state.
