Abstract

Building upon one of the fundamental anthropological realities in MacIntyre's work, such as trust, this paper explores the idea of Christian faith. Trust as an essential element of human nature allows for the transition towards supernatural faith, which involves an interlinear journey that goes from self-understanding to a new understanding of all reality. It requires a process of purification through years of reflection, confrontation, and analysis of the different philosophical approaches that the Scottish philosopher engaged with throughout his life, as will be shown in the following pages.
