This article tries to show the intellectual evolution of Alasdair MacIntyre from 1958 to 1960. For this purpose, it summarizes the ideas of MacIntyre in the context of the left ideology in Great Britain, mainly the reception of the orthodox Stalinism, and his criticism according to the revision of Marx interpreters: Lenin, Trotsky, Lukács and Kautsky. The article tries to explain both the political and intellectual evolution of MacIntyre (New Left, Socialist Labour League, Socialist International) according to three main problems: humanism, history and revolution.
