"a particular kind of person"
Alasdair MacIntyre, Three Rival Versions of Moral Enquiry: Encyclopedia, Genealogy, and Tradition. (1990, pp. 60-61)
“… the enquirer has to learn how to make him or herself into a particular kind of person if he or she is to move towards a knowledge of the truth about his or her good and about the human good. What kind of transformation is required? It is that which is involved in making oneself an apprentice to a crat, the craft in this case of philosophical enquiry.”
I have reached a familiar kind of point in reading Three Rival Versions, where I can see that the next few pages will require slowing down significantly in my reading, so as to adequately come to terms with what is written.
