Principia Ethica

<p>2019 Reprint of 1922 Edition.  Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software.  Moore played as important a part in the development of modern philosophy as his contemporary Bertrand Russell.  <em>Principia Ethica</em> is the first and the most famous of his few published works.  <em>Principia Ethica</em> is concerned with the basic principles of ethical reasoning.  Two questions are all important:  what kind of things are intrinsically good; and what kind of actions ought we to perform?  The simplicity clarity and common sense of Moore’s writing bring fresh life to the study of ethics; his intellectual honesty and vigor give this book the stamp of greatness.  –From the back cover.</p>
