MacIntyre and Held
            
             Alasdair MacIntyre and Virginia Held are two important figures in the fold
             of philosophy. Both are renowned because of their own special
             fieldsâ€"MacIntyre for moral philosophy purely, and Virginia Held for
             partitioning it for feminist philosophy. MacIntyre's views appear more
             global and humanitarian. One may say that Held's goal is the same; she
             only looks at feminism as a necessary medium for the service of humanity.
             Moral philosophy takes into account development, keeps an open mind
             about matters that must be given thought, and consists of moral theories.
             MacIntyre, for instance, gives up on the idea of individual culture to
             shape morality. Instead, he believes in being questioning toward our moral
             values and to adopt a somewhat universal culture with its own particular
             profile of morality. Here, a candid, liberal mind is used. Held, on the
             other hand, discusses a feminist moral theory, not pure moral philosophy,
             when she expresses her opinion that moral theory must be about caring as
             well. Hence, based on Held's theory, there must be interdependence rather
             than MacIntyre's individualism.
             As mentioned earlier, both philosophers express their views in a style
             that catches attention. However, no philosopher among the two has found
             the other guilty of erroneous conviction. Their ideas on moral philosophy
             or moral theory (a part of moral philosophy) are unique and still weighty
             enough to be pondered upon deeply.
            
            
            
             War and Capital Punishment
            
             Peace is bestâ€"this is wisest to say. Many would say that capital
             punishment is bad while killing in war is justified. It depends: this is
             my viewpoint. There are innumerable variables involved as far as killing
             is concerned, a moral philosopher may be aware also. Why is an individual
             being killed' Why is war being waged' Should the innocent be killed in
             war too only because of the corrupti...
