Communitarianism

Communitarianism: A concept which has become attached to those philosophers who reject the atomic-individual rationality of liberal thought to ground in substantial social relationality (e.g., Alastair MacIntyre, Charles Taylor and Michael Sandel): but with an inability to move beyond constituted attachments and received ways to more life-coherent forms of social ordering.
