McIntyre’s Critique of the Soul MacIntyre critiqued Plato’s soul by using the poisoned water analogy. This analogy takes place in the desert where you are dying of thirst. In the distance, you see water. When you walk closer, a sign beside the water cautions you, as the water is poisonous. MacIntyre stated that this was a rational and irrational desire, which Plato stated was impossible. You can have a rational desire because it’s rational to want to hydrate yourself. But it’s a irrational desire because it’s irrational to drink poisoned water. It was impossible to Plato because he believed that you can’t have rational desires, only irrational desires.
