These sixteen original essays, whose authors include some of the world's leading philosophers, examine themes from the work of the Cambridge philosopher G. E. Moore (1873-1958), and demonstrate his considerable continuing influence on philosophical debate. Part I bears on epistemological topics, such as scepticism about the external world, the significance of common sense, and theories of perception. Part II is devoted to themes in ethics, such as Moore's open question argument, his non-naturalism, utilitarianism, and his notion of organic unities.
This collection of essays investigates the enduring relevance and critical impact of G. E. Moore's philosophical contributions to contemporary epistemology and ethics. Editors Gary Seay and Susana Nuccetelli compile sixteen original works from prominent philosophers to evaluate Moore's influence on modern discourse. The text utilizes Moore's foundational arguments as a framework to address ongoing debates regarding skepticism, perception, and moral theory.
