The philosopher Alisdair McIntyre was formerly a leftist, possibly a Communist, who converted to Catholicism while on the faculty at Notre Dame. I wouldn’t let that stop you from looking at his books, especially “After Virtue” and “Whose Justice? Which Rationality”?
This is a fine philosophical discussion, in the Aristotelian tradition, of the incompatibility between modernists & postmodernists and the traditional ideas of virtue and rationality. Most modern and postmodern philosophy isn’t worth the paper it’s written on, but McIntyre is one of the few exceptions.

Sounds like he did/is doing important work. Yeyasher kocho!
I'm not into philosophy as the basis of morality (being a Theonomic positivist and all), but I suppose it has its uses.
