	G. E. Moore [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Moore’s classification of the moral as non-natural was to be one of the hinges upon which moral philosophy in the Anglo-American academy turned until roughly 1960.
		G. Moore was raised in the Upper Norwood district of South London.
		Moore claims that he knows these and many other propositions to be certainly and wholly true; and one of the other propositions that Moore claims to know with certainty is that others have also known the aforementioned propositions to be true of themselves, just as he knows them to be true of himself.

	G.E. Moore
		Moore in his hostility to subjectivism, to idealism, was fully in accord with the zeitgeist and it was that spirit of the age, more than Moore’s arguments, which produced the demise of idealism in his day.
		Moore’s first accomplishment in the domain of perception was to invent a new piece of terminology: the word ‘sense-datum’ and its plural ‘sense-data’, which became the favored terms in which discussions of perception were carried on, were Moore’s inventions.
		Moore assumes that to assert that Time is Unreal “implies” that he was not born before he wrote ‘A Defense...’ Since the philosophical view entails the denial of one of the items on his list of truisms, the philosophical view is false.

	George Edward Moore's Principia Ethica
		Moore says that the subject-matter of ethics is most often concerned with human conduct, and with the question of what is good or bad, what is right or wrong.
		Moore says that Egoism, as it concerns the consequences of actions, is a philosophy that each person desires his or her own happiness, and that therefore each person’s happiness is the only thing desirable.
		Moore argues that Utilitarianism is contradictory, in that it does not accurately distinguish between actions that promote happiness only as a means to future happiness, and actions that promote happiness as an end in itself.

	Moore
		Moore was a significant influence on Russell, Wittgenstein, Ryle.
		Moore's departure from idealistic philosophy began with a criticism of internal relations in the careful analysis of truth and falsity in "The Nature of Judgment" (1899).
		Continuing to develop his realistic convictions, Moore argued in "A Defence of Common Sense" (1925) that we all certainly know the truth of many propositions about ourselves, bodies, and other people, even though we may be uncertain about the correct analysis of these propositions.

	Brian Hutchinson - G. E. Moore's Ethical Theory: Resistance and Reconciliation - Reviewed by Philip Stratton-Lake, ...
		Mooreâs great aim in ethics is to expose and expunge philosophyâs revisionary impulse in order to defend the things we know to be irreplaceable in any sane way of lifeâ¦ Some things philosophers must simply accept.
		By focusing on Mooreâs actual theory rather than on his statement and application of it, we find a richer conception of moral epistemology that is less revolutionary and more friendly to common sense, according to Hutchinson.
		Moore is a conservative about rules that are necessary for civilized life and is deeply suspicious of revisionary rules invented by philosophers.

	Naturalistic fallacy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Moore's argument in Principia Ethica is (among other things) a defense of ethical non-naturalism; he argues that the term "good" (in the sense of intrinsic value) is indefinable, because it names a simple, non-natural property.
		Moore coined the term "naturalistic fallacy" to describe arguments of this form; he explains (in § 12) that the fallacy involved is an instance of a more general type of fallacy, which he leaves unnamed, but which we might call the "definitional fallacy".
		The target of Moore's discussion of the "naturalistic fallacy" is reductionism at least as much as it is naturalism specifically, and the important lesson, for Moore, is that the meaning of the term "good" and the nature of the property goodness are irreducibly sui generis.

	Moore
		Moore, G(eorge) E(dward) (1873-1958), British philosopher, known for his role in the development of contemporary philosophy, his contribution to ethical theory, and his defense of philosophical realism.
		Moore was perplexed, for example, by the claim of some philosophers that time is unreal.
		Moore's diligent attention to conceptual analysis as a means of achieving clarity established him as one of the founders of the contemporary analytic and linguistic emphasis in philosophy.

	George Edward Moore (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Moore concentrates here on the case of a ‘sensation of blue’ and maintains that this experience is a kind of ‘diaphanous’ consciousness or awareness of blue, which is not a ‘content’ of experience at all, but something real whose existence is not dependent on experience.
		Moore's argument against the thesis that all relations are internal starts from the claim that the burden of proof lies on its supporters since it conflicts with our common sense conviction that things are not essentially inter-related in such a way that a change to one thing in one respect necessitates changes to everything else.
		Moore then argues that the best reason one could have for the thesis involves a logical fallacy; he shows how the thesis that all relations are internal might be plausibly, but fallaciously, inferred from Leibniz’ Law, the uncontentious principle that things which differ in their relations must differ in their identity.

		Explain how the two steps Moore describes indicate that the emotive theory of ethics is inconsistent: (1) his argument from emotivism and (2) his argument from moral progress.
		Moore states that some people believe that when they use the terms "right" and "wrong" they are stating their feelings toward the actions at issue.
		Moore says that it may well be true that moral judgments developed from feelings.

	G. E. Moore
		As the legend runs, Moore and Bertrand Russell were the dynamic duo who broke the spell of British Idealism, ushering in the age of analytic philosophy.
		Moore was also teacher, colleague and conversational partner to the likes of Frank Ramsey and Ludwig Wittgenstein, the latter succeeding him as professor in 1939.
		Beyond serving as philosophical midwife to Russell, Ramsay, and Wittgenstein, Moore was revered as a god, the model of moral and mental purity, by the leading members of Bloomsbury.

	Moore, George Edward. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Moore’s earliest writings were strongly influenced by the idealism of F. Bradley and the transcendental epistemology of Immanuel Kant, and ranged from idealism to realism.
		After 1903, however, with the publication of Principia Ethica and “The Refutation of Idealism,” he became more interested in critical epistemology, i.e., in distinguishing between acts of consciousness and their possible objects, and between the ways in which we can be said to know and the things we can know.

	G.E. Moore: Day 3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		One student wondered whether the Evil Demon hypothesis might undermine Moore's claim that his premise ("I know I have two hands") is more certain that the skeptic's premise ("I don't know that I am not being decieved by an evil demon").
		Moore is quite correct in reminding us that it is even more intuitively plausible that I do know that I have two hands.
		The claim is that at best Moore may be able to win a debate with this imaginary skeptic, but that he certainly hasn't resolved the skeptical paradox.

	G. E. Moore, Tom Regan: Elements of Ethics - Print
		But it is in ethics, and especially owing to the positions he develops in his Principia Ethica, first published in 1903, that his ideas have had their most enduring influence.
		In The Elements, however, Moore's position regarding ethics in relation to conduct differs in important respects from the one presented in Principia, and the former work contains important discussions, ranging from Christian ethics and the possibility of free will, not found in the latter.
		Among his many books are Bloomsbury's Prophet: G. Moore and the Development of His Moral Philosophy (Temple) and, most recently, The Animal Rights Debate (with Carl Cohen).

	Principia Ethica Review - G. E. Moore
		That G. Moore’s Principia Ethica has attained the status of a modern classic is amply attested by the number of references made to its central concepts and arguments.
		Moore’s central contention is that the adjective “good” refers to a simple, unique, and unanalyzable property.
		He claims that propositions containing value terms and ethical predicates are meaningful and can be found to be either true or false, even though the word “good” names an indefinable property knowable only by intuition or immediate insight.
