The spirit of the Kavin Rowe quote above reminds me of this passage from Alasdair MacIntyre.

“The encyclopedic, the genealogical, and the Thomistic tradition-constituted standpoints confront one another not only as rival moral theories but also as projects for constructing rival moral narratives. Is there any way that one of these rivals might prevail over the others? One possible answer was supplied by Dante: that moral narrative prevails … which is able to include its rivals within itself, not only to retell their stories as episodes within its own story, but to tell the story of the telling of their stories as such episodes.” (Three Rival Versions of Moral Enquiry, Alasdair Macintyre pp.80-81)”
