The Metaphysical Basis of Ethics

Více o knize

The book offers an in-depth analysis of G. E. Moore's philosophical development from 1894 to 1902, a crucial period for the emergence of analytic philosophy alongside Bertrand Russell. Utilizing unpublished archival materials, it challenges the conventional narrative that depicts a sudden break from F. H. Bradley's Absolute Idealism. It highlights the influence of anti-psychologism on Moore's thought, drawing connections to his teachers G.F. Stout and James Ward, and explores their interpretations of Kant and ethics, providing a broader context for the evolution of analytic philosophy.
