| principia ethica: Principia Ethica George Edward Moore, 2005 First published in 1903, this volume revolutionized philosophy and forever altered the direction of ethical studies. A philosopher's philosopher, G. E. Moore was the idol of the Bloomsbury group, and Lytton Strachey declared that Principia Ethica marked the rebirth of the Age of Reason. G.E. (George Edward) Moore is regarded, along with Bertrand Russell and Ludwig Wittgenstein, as a founder of 20th century analytic philosophy. Moore was appointed a fellow at Trinity College, Cambridge in 1898 and taught there on and off until 1939. A leading figure in the Bloomsbury group and the editor of the highly influential journal, Mind, Moore was a philosophical realist who advanced a common sense approach to philosophy. Moore's Principia Ethica, first published in 1903, is now regarded as a groundbreaking work of 20th century ethics. In this text, Moore advances an intuitivist approach to ethics that flatly rejects all forms of moral dogmatism. The term good, he argues, cannot be defined, but can only be understood through direct experience. Among Moore's other notable works are Philosophical Studies (1922) and Some Main Problems in Philosophy (1953).. -- Publisher. |
| principia ethica: Metaethics after Moore Terry Horgan, Mark Timmons, 2006-01-26 Metaethics, understood as a distinct branch of ethics, is often traced to G. E. Moore's 1903 classic, Principia Ethica. Whereas normative ethics is concerned to answer first order moral questions about what is good and bad, right and wrong, metaethics is concerned to answer second order non-moral questions about the semantics, metaphysics, and epistemology of moral thought and discourse. Moore has continued to exert a powerful influence, and the sixteen essays here (most of them specially written for the volume) represent the most up-to-date work in metaethics after, and in some cases directly inspired by, the work of Moore. |

| principia ethica: G. E. Moore's Ethical Theory Brian Hutchinson, 2007-07-19 This is the first comprehensive study of the ethics of G. E. Moore, the most important English-speaking ethicist of the 20th century. Moore's ethical project, set out in his seminal text the Principia Ethica is to preserve common moral insight from skepticism and, in effect, persuade his readers to accept the objective character of goodness. Brian Hutchinson explores Moore's arguments in detail, showing Moore's ethical work to be much richer and more sophisticated than his critics have acknowledged. |

| principia ethica: The Classical Utilitarians Jeremy Bentham, John Stuart Mill, 2003-03-15 This volume includes the complete texts of two of John Stuart Mill's most important works, Utilitarianism and On Liberty, and selections from his other writings, including the complete text of his Remarks on Bentham's Philosophy. The selection from Mill's A System of Logic is of special relevance to the debate between those who read Mill as an Act-Utilitarian and those who interpret him as a Rule-Utilitarian. Also included are selections from the writings of Jeremy Bentham, founder of modern Utilitarianism and mentor (together with James Mill) of John Stuart Mill. Bentham's Principles of Morals and Legislation had important effects on political and legal reform in his own time and continues to provide insights for political theorists and philosophers of law. Seven chapters of Bentham's Principles are here in their entirety, together with a number of shorter selections, including one in which Bentham repudiates the slogan often used to characterize his philosophy: The Greatest Happiness of the Greatest Number. John Troyer's Introduction presents the central themes and arguments of Bentham and Mill and assesses their relevance to current discussions of Utilitarianism. The volume also provides indexes, a glossary, and notes. |
| principia ethica: Principia Ethica G. E. Moore, 2016-08-05 Principia Ethica is G. E. Moore's outstanding treatise of moral philosophy, wherein the philosopher posits that what is 'good' is indefinable, while demonstrating the fallacy of naturalism. Upon its original publication in 1903, this text received strong reception within academia for its convincing and clearly stated views. Moore firmly believed that moral values could not be based upon a simple knowledge, but instead from rigorous and intuitive experience of life's pleasures - beholding beauty, enjoying friendships, and taking pleasure in activities. In this book, Moore convinces readers of his argument with a series of expositions which are today held as advancing the field of moral philosophy. Influential in 20th century philosophy, this work was praised by Moore's contemporary Bertrand Russell and others in the scholarly community. For the student or enthusiast of modern moral philosophy, the Principia Ethica is vital reading. This edition presents the original text in full, with no abridgement made. |
| principia ethica: Moore's Principia Ethica David Mills Daniel, 2013-01-07 George Edward Moore’s Principia Ethica was published by Cambridge University Press in 1903 and this was the birth of the science of ethics. So groundbreaking was this book at the time, that practically overnight, ethicists became meta-ethicists and the book ever since has been recognised as the definitive starting point for 20th century ethical theory. In it Moore is concerned with applying logic to ethics, and with demonstrating that logic can give ethics a better foundation. Moore defines ethics as an inquiry into what is good, including what is good in human conduct. Moore supposed that common sense beliefs about the world were correct as they were and shows how false premises about the way in which good is to be defined can lead to false conclusions about ethical conduct. Known to influence the thinking of Russell, Wittgenstein, Ryle and Keynes to mention but a few, understanding this key work in 20th C ethics is essential, and made achievable in this Briefly guide. |
| principia ethica: Principia Ethica G. E. Moore, 2023-11-08T18:51:42Z Principia Ethica is a foundational text in the analytic tradition of ethical theory and G. E. Moore’s most influential book. In it, he defines the subject of ethics as the general enquiry into the question “what is good?” and famously contends that the predicate “good” is indefinable. Moore claims that whatever definition is offered of the predicate, “it may be always asked, with significance, of the complex so defined, whether it is itself good,” an argument that would later come to be known as the “open question” argument. To fail to accept its conclusion and instead to identify “good” with some other quality or list of qualities is, according to Moore, to commit the error that he names the “naturalistic fallacy.” The bulk of the book is devoted to discussing ethical theories that Moore finds defective. First he addresses “naturalistic” theories, which define good in terms of properties that exist in time and can be experienced; among these theories his primary foci are the “evolutionary” ethics of Herbert Spencer and the utilitarianism of John Stuart Mill. Moore then criticizes the “non-naturalistic” strand of ethics that defines “good” in terms of a supersensible reality and whose representatives include Kant, Spinoza and the Stoics. While identifying different errors in each of the theories he considers, Moore holds all of them to commit the naturalistic fallacy. The final two chapters of the book develop Moore’s positive ethical vision, discussing respectively the conditions under which conduct is to be considered good or bad, and the notion of the “highest good” or the “Ideal.” He supports the standard consequentialist thesis that the right action is that which results in the most good. However, in his view “the most good” ought to be determined by reference to a set of intrinsic goods in which aesthetic experiences and personal affections are foregrounded, in contrast to hedonistic theories that recognize value only in pleasure or the absence of pain. Moore’s declarations concerning what has intrinsic value influenced members of the Bloomsbury Group such as Lytton Strachey, Leonard and Virginia Woolf, and John Maynard Keynes. In her first novel, The Voyage Out, Virginia Woolf has her character Helen Ambrose read Principia Ethica, while Strachey wrote to Moore that he considered the publication date of Principia Ethica to be the “beginning of the Age of Reason.” Although Moore would later disown many of its main contentions and argumentative strategies as confused, Principia Ethica continues to be acknowledged as a pioneering work of ethics and of analytic philosophy. In affirming the importance of understanding the meaning of ethical judgments before progressing to investigations of their truth, the treatise also laid the groundwork for the mid-century linguistic turn in ethics and the contemporary distinction between normative ethics and meta-ethics.

| principia ethica: The Definition of Good (Routledge Revivals) Alfred C. Ewing, 2012-05-29 First published in Great Britain in 1948, this book examines the definition of goodness as being distinct from the question of What things are good? Although less immediately and obviously practical, Dr. Ewing argues that the former question is more fundamental since it raises the issue of whether ethics is explicable wholly in terms of something else, for example, human psychology. Ewing states in his preface that the definition of goodness needs to be confirmed before one decides on the place value is to occupy in our conception of reality or on the ultimate characteristics which make one action right and another wrong. This book discusses these issues. |
| principia ethica: Ethical Intuitionism M. Huemer, 2007-12-14 A defence of ethical intuitionism where (i) there are objective moral truths; (ii) we know these through an immediate, intellectual awareness, or 'intuition'; and (iii) knowing them gives us reasons to act independent of our desires. The author rebuts the major objections to this theory and shows the difficulties in alternative theories of ethics. |

| principia ethica: The Dawn of Analysis Scott Soames, 2005-01-30 This is a major, wide-ranging history of analytic philosophy since 1900, told by one of the tradition's leading contemporary figures. The first volume takes the story from 1900 to mid-century. The second brings the history up to date. As Scott Soames tells it, the story of analytic philosophy is one of great but uneven progress, with leading thinkers making important advances toward solving the tradition's core problems. Though no broad philosophical position ever achieved lasting dominance, Soames argues that two methodological developments have, over time, remade the philosophical landscape. These are (1) analytic philosophers' hard-won success in understanding, and distinguishing the notions of logical truth, a priori truth, and necessary truth, and (2) gradual acceptance of the idea that philosophical speculation must be grounded in sound prephilosophical thought. Though Soames views this history in a positive light, he also illustrates the difficulties, false starts, and disappointments endured along the way. As he engages with the work of his predecessors and contemporaries--from Bertrand Russell and Ludwig Wittgenstein to Donald Davidson and Saul Kripke--he seeks to highlight their accomplishments while also pinpointing their shortcomings, especially where their perspectives were limited by an incomplete grasp of matters that have now become clear. Soames himself has been at the center of some of the tradition's most important debates, and throughout writes with exceptional ease about its often complex ideas. His gift for clear exposition makes the history as accessible to advanced undergraduates as it will be important to scholars. Despite its centrality to philosophy in the English-speaking world, the analytic tradition in philosophy has had very few synthetic histories. This will be the benchmark against which all future accounts will be measured. |
| principia ethica: Ethics George Edward Moore, 1978 |
| principia ethica: Principia Ethica George Moore, 2018-10-17 MR. MOORE'S Principia Ethica affords repeated illustration of the qualities which have distinguished his earlier and more fugitive contributions to philosophy; it is eminently ingenious and acute, and no less eminently irritating and, as it must appear to readers not convinced of- the truth of its author's peculiar tenets, wrong-headed. To some extent, no doubt, irritation is bound to be caused by any book which has at once the courage to assail traditionally established views and the ability to make the assault formidable; in Mr. Moore's case, however, one has to regret certain faults of manner and temper which are quite gratuitously provoking. Mr. Moore, who is on the whole more appreciative of Plato than of any other moralist old or new, is obviously and laudably anxious to advance the cause of clear thinking by the application of the Socratic elenchus to the confusions and ambiguities of popular philosophising on ethics. But he unfortunately forgets that the Socratic elenchus, to be tolerable, needs the accompaniment of Socratic urbanity. Unlike his great prototype he comes before us not as the modest searcher after truth in quest of fellow-seekers, but as a philosopher with a readymade system of his own and a profound contempt for his predecessors in the craft. We learn from his preface that his results are prolegomena to any future ethics that can possibly pretend to be scientific, and after so bold a boast we may be excused a sense of disillusionment if the results to which we are conducted strike us as neither convincing nor significant enough to merit their author's encomium. With regard to Mr. Moore's very summary treatment of the moralists, the curious character of the statements he makes about Hobbes and Hegel justifies a doubt as to the extent of his acquaintance with some at least of the objects of his scorn. And there is a singular passage with reference to the supposed teaching of Christ, who fares no better than Mill or Kant at Mr. Moore's hands, which strongly suggests that Mr. Moore sat down to refute the Sermon on the Mount without concerning himself to ascertain precisely what that sermon teaches. It would probably be unjust to ascribe this unamiable attitude of mind altogether to that kind of self-satisfaction which Plato, in a passage Mr. Moore will remember, attributes to the half-fledged dialectician. Partly it seems to be explained by defective knowledge, but mainly perhaps by a constitutional deficiency in the sympathetic power of seeing under the confusions and mistakes of other men the fruitful ideas they are dimly struggling to express. It is characteristic of Mr. Moore's acute but narrow type of mind that his method of controversy is always to limit the position of his opponent to the logical minimum of meaning that can be put upon his words, to the entire exclusion of those fertile suggestions which often constitute the most precious part of a philosopher's work.... -- The Saturday Review of Politics, Literature, Science and Art, Volume 97 |

| principia ethica: Evolutionary Naturalism Michael Ruse, 1995-02-02 This is a collection of essays on the history and philosophy of evolutionary biology by the well-known Canadian scholar, Michael Ruse. Much has been written newly for the collection, as the author explores themes of evolutionary naturalism, putting the theory of knowledge and of moral behaviour on a philosophical basis informed by contemporary evolutionary biology. Divided into three parts, the first set of essays considers issues in the history of science - Darwin, population biology, and the new paleontological theory of `punctuated equilibria' - attempting to find a path between the crude objectivity espoused by many working scientists, and the rank relativism of post-modernist critiques of science. The second set of essays turns directly to the theory of knowledge (epistemology), arguing that the fact that we are evolved beings rather than objects of special creation, must and does inform our thinking about the external world. The third set of essays, the most controversial, turns to questions of morality, arguing that ethical systems are ultimately no more than collective illusions put in place by our biology, because humans are essentially social animals. Written in a clear and non-technical fashion, this collection carries forward debate on a number of controversial issues, showing that the time has now come to take philosophy from the hands of academic theorists and to embrace fully the findings and consequences of modern science. |
| principia ethica: Ethical Knowledge Joel J Kupperman, 2014-04-04 First published in 2002. This is Volume VIII of the Library Psychology 12 volume series. The philosophical problem addressed by this book is perhaps the one most relevant to the life of the average unphilosophical man. It can be argued that every man assumes a solution in his life. Much of the first half of this book is historical or exploratory. The second half is highly analytical, examining the relations between ethical claims and other kinds of claims that generally are accorded cognitive status. This is designed to be work of a kind with which advanced students in philosophy are most familiar. |

| principia ethica: A Hundred Years of English Philosophy N. Milkov, 2013-11-11 This book is a historical investigation of the leading philosophical movement in England in the twentieth century. In seven chapters, the intellectual development of the most prominent representatives of analytic philosophy-Moore, Russell and Wittgenstein in Cambridge, and Ryle, Austin, Strawson and Dummett in Oxford-is traced. The book does not aim, however, at delivering a story. This means, above all, that generalisations and conclusions are reduced to a minimum-an approach adopted in an endeavour to avert the danger of subjectivism that interpreting the philosophers under scrutiny would impose. My hope is that by following this aproach, my inves tigation will stimulate readers to make their own generalisations and conclusions on the basis of the objectively presented data. Instead, my aim is to articulate a flawless, comprehensive description of the phil osophical texts of the seven most significant analytic philosophers in England in the twentieth century. For this purpose, all their articles and books have been sifted through in order to pick out the most representative parts. For obvious reasons, only the chapters on Russell and Wittgenstein, and-to a lesser extent-the chapter on Moore, are more theoretical. |
| principia ethica: Moore on Right and Wrong William H. Shaw, 1995-02-28 G.E. Moore's work shaped twentieth century ethics. But while his metaethical doctrines have seen decades of debate, little attention has been paid to his normative theory. Yet Moore broke fresh and important ground in elaborating an indirect, sophisticated, and non-hedonistic form of utilitarianism. Moore on Right and Wrong is a critical reconstruction and exposition of this neglected side of his ethical thought. It situates his normative ethics with respect to traditional utilitarianism and assesses Moore's case for consequentialism. The final chapters explore in detail the implications of Moore's theory for individual moral conduct -- in particular, his denial of self-evident moral rules; his skepticism about knowledge of one's duty; his attempt to establish the validity of certain moral rules; and his account of what moral agents should do in situations where such rules apply and in situations where they do not. |

| principia ethica: Old School Jiu-Jitsu Manifesto Brian Jones, 2019-11-06 This book is for those who still follow the old school jiujitsu way. Its purpose is to give a voice to the original fighting art of jiujitsu and differentiate it from modern sport jiujitsu. It's a manifesto - a statement of principles. Rather than an argument to convince or convert, this book explains plainly what many refuse to acknowledge. Jiujitsu is no longer a unified system. Increasing differences between traditional self-defense jiujitsu and sport jiujitsu dwarf any similarities left between the two such that they are now completely different styles. Despite the name, old school jiujitsu represents a mindset and method rather than a time period. It continues in the tradition of its Japanese roots while following the original intentions of its Brazilian founders. Old school jiujitsu also draws upon the ideas and experiences of the pioneers who spread the art around the world. It honors those in modern times who continue the legacy of the original art just as it dismisses early attempts to steer it in the direction of common sport. The ideas in this book often run counter to modern mainstream thought about jiujitsu, and in true manifesto style, opinions will be polarized. Readers will likely either love or hate it. Agree with it completely, or laugh it off as the antiquated ramblings of a disgruntled oldster. Regardless, the spirit of the old school will never die - those who believe as I do will continue its legacy out of duty and love. Those dedicated to the old school way will hold the line in our own academies, with our own students, and on our own mats. We do so because it's our passion and our obligation, and no trend will ever divert us from our charge.The Old School is the Best School. |

| principia ethica: Principia Ethica George Edward Moore, 2015-06-26 Excerpt from Principia Ethica It appears to me that in Ethics, as in all other philosophical studies, the difficulties and disagreements, of which its history is full, are mainly due to a very simple cause: namely to the attempt to answer questions, without first discovering precisely what question it is which you desire to answer. I do not know how far this source of error would be done away, if philosophers would try to discover what question they were asking, before they set about to answer it; for the work of analysis and distinction is often very difficult: we may often fail to make the necessary discovery, even though we make a definite attempt to do so. But I am inclined to think that in many cases a resolute attempt would be sufficient to ensure success; so that, if only this attempt were made, many of the most glaring difficulties and disagreements in philosophy would disappear. At all events, philosophers seem, in general, not to make the attempt; and, whether in consequence of this omission or not, they are constantly endeavouring to prove that 'Yes' or 'No' will answer questions, to which neither answer is correct, owing to the fact that what they have before their minds is not one question, but several, to some of which the true answer is 'No,' to others 'Yes.'

| principia ethica: The Nature of Intrinsic Value Michael J. Zimmerman, 2001 Zimmerman (philosophy, U. of N. Carolina, Greensboro) utilizes G. E. Moore's Principia Ethica as a springboard to investigate some of the issues raised in Moore's writing in relation to intrinsic value. The discussion includes what it means for something to be valuable for its own sake, what sort of thing can have intrinsic value, and how such a value can be computed. The author concludes with an analysis of what kinds of states have intrinsic value, and what intrinsic value they have, with a focus on several specific states--pleasure, pain, displeasure, moral virtue, and vice. c.

| principia ethica: Proportionalism Bernard Hoose, 1987-12-01 One of the most heated debates in recent times among Christian ethicians has been over what has come to be called proportionalism. Opponents have argued that proportionalists are intent on relativizing theology norms and theh concept of intrinsic evil. Proponents, on the other hand, argue that they are merely developing a traditional notion of proportion of reason. Bernard Hoose puts this debate in context by showing its roots in the writings of European moral theologians and its flowering in the writings of their American colleagues. He uncovers a number of confusions that have bedeviled the argument while revealing how important the issues are for establishing in coherent Christian ethics in the twentieth century. |
