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.

"G.E. Moore was a central figure in twentieth-century philosophy. Along with Russell and Wittgenstein, he pioneered analytic philosophy, and his Principia Ethica shaped the contours of twentieth-century ethics. Indeed, until the publication of Rawls's A Theory of Justice, no single book in moral philosophy was to equal Principia's influence. Unfortunately, however, Principia Ethica has so dominated critical discussions of Moore's work that even experts on his moral philosophy have tended to ignore his Ethics, which he published eight years later. But Ethics (1912) is Moore's only other book on moral philosophy, and one of only a handful of post-Principia publications dealing with ethics. Its detailed discussions of utilitarianism, free will, and the objectivity of moral judgements find no real counterpart in Principia while its account of right and wrong and of the nature of intrinsic value deepen our understanding of his moral philosophy. The republication of Ethics thus rounds out our understanding of Moore's ethical thought. But the book's value goes beyond its historical or scholarly interest. A short but philosophically rich text, Ethics stands independent of Principia and repays careful study in its own right. By raising a number of fundamental questions in ethics, questions that remain live today, by proffering clear, credible, and often innovative answers to them, and by doing so with a philosophical skill that is still impressive, Moore's short book is a minor classic. Almost a century after its original publications, it still amply rewards those who read it." "This new edition of Moore's Ethics includes his essay 'The nature of Moral Philosophy' as well as editorial notes, an introduction, and a guide to further reading."--BOOK JACKET.

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

This 2001 book is a comprehensive study of the ethics of G. E. Moore, the most important English-speaking ethicist of the twentieth century. Moore's ethical project, set out in his seminal text Principia Ethica, is to preserve common moral insight from scepticism and, in effect, persuade his readers to accept the objective character of goodness. Brian Hutchinson explores Moore's arguments in detail and in the process relates the ethical thought to Moore's anti-sceptical epistemology. Moore was, without perhaps fully realizing it, sceptical about the very enterprise of philosophy itself, and in this regard, as Brian Hutchinson reveals, was much closer in his thinking to Wittgenstein than has been previously realized. This book shows Moore's ethical work to be much richer and more sophisticated than his critics have acknowledged.
