Mankind has entered the 21st century, in the face of humanity to create the brilliant material civilization and spiritual civilization, people in the emotion of human reason and the practice of great strength, but also had to admit a high degree of civilization brought about by a variety of startling predicament. The face of various difficulties, people began to practice their own profound self-examination. In general, mankind faces a crisis rooted in people's understanding of the practice of one-sided. Therefore, the practice should reflect a comprehensive understanding of the practice began. In this paper, MacIntyre's View of Practice is for this purpose."Practice" in Philosophy is a word commonly used in logic, many philosophers have been exploring the concept in practice. I think the logic of the concept of an important test to do, could clarify some common misconceptions, this work itself is meaningful.MacIntyre is a well-known Anglo-American philosophers, his masterpiece "In Search of the virtues of made in the reconstruction of virtue ethics perspective and world-renowned academics in the West. In fact, if we will find a little attention, and his practice is also a profound concept. Maclntyre believes that in order to clarify the moral character, first of all to clarify the practice.In his opinion" any coherent and complex form of socially established co-operative human activity through which goods internal to that form of activity are realized in the course of trying to achieve those standards of excellence which are appropriate to, and partially definitive of, that form of activity, with the result that human powers to achieve excellence, and human conceptions of the ends and goods involved, are systematically extended". Maclntyre here the work done is worth our attention, he shows us a rather unique concept in practice. Maclntyre's concept of practice is the practice of Aristotle's philosophy inheritance and beyond, he on the one hand, stressed the importance of intrinsic benefits, it also pointed out that the over-emphasis on the dangers of external benefits. This is today's practice philosophy, constructivism and the process of modernization has very important theoretical and practical significance.
