G.E. Moore by Thomas Baldwin

G.E. Moore by Thomas Baldwin

G.E. Moore, more than either Bertrand Russell or Ludwig Wittgenstein, was chiefly responsible for the rise of the analytic method in twentieth- century philosophy. This selection of his writings shows Moore at his very best.

'Moore was extremely clever.. He never dealt with trivial issues but only with matters of central philosophical importance. He never wrote for effect; he never tried to dazzle; his only concern was with the truth ... Baldwin's selection of writings seems to me admirable. They include many of his best and most characteristic things.' - Peter Strawson

'Moore added a dimension of analytical acuteness and precision to the defense of commom sense that was previously unknown and remains unexcelled. His clear and profound analyses are a monument to the power of the human mind to understand itself, the external world, and relation of one to the other.' - Keith Lehrer, University of Arizona

On November 4, 1873, at Upper Norwood, London, GEORGE EDWARD MOORE, prominent epistemologist, moral philosopher, and ordinary language philosopher, was born. He received his education at the University of Cambridge's Dulwich College, where he focused in classics until deciding to pursue philosophy. From 1911 to 1925, he lectured at Cambridge before being appointed professor and teaching there until his retirement in 1939. Moore was the editor of the globally acclaimed journal Mind from 1921 until 1947, in addition to producing Principia Ethica (1902). In 1951, he was granted the Order of Merit, England's highest honor. On October 24, 1958, he died in Cambridge.
