Metaethics is the study of moral language, moral ontology, and moral epistemology. This book addresses each of these in a way accessible to both students and professional philosophers. Van Reken defends the classic view of moral realism, advanced by philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, and Kant. Moral language tends to be the focus of much current metaethical discussion, but this volume concerns itself more with questions of moral ontology and moral epistemology. The concept of the moral field is introduced, which helps distinguish what is moral and what is amoral (a discussion too often overlooked by moralists), and--adapting an epistemological theory developed by Alvin Plantinga--an argument is made that we can know moral truths. Principia Meta-Ethica presents a return to the core issues of metaethics and strengthens the case for moral realism with new arguments, distinctions, and concepts.

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.'

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.

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

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).

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.
