Alasdair MacIntyre is one of the best known spokesmen of communitarian ethics in our age. His moral ideas consist of theories of practice, unity of life, and tradition. And his ideas follow Aristotle's tradition of virtue theory. And he is one of the several advocates of ‘narrative self’. This study examines MacIntyre's ethical theory of virtues, and tries to give some suggestions for the education of international understanding. Although his ethico-political theory represents one of the leading communitarian ethics, this study only focused on the application aspects of his theory, putting aside the theoretical argumentations of his seminal moral or political claims. His theory provides following suggestions for the education of international education: the quest for emphasizing global mind, the more frequent use of phronesis, and the make and use of story-telling materials in the education for international understanding.
