Principia Ethica by G. E. Moore
QR code
"Principia Ethica" by G. E. Moore is a philosophical work published in 1903. Moore challenges the very foundation of ethics by questioning what "good" actually means. He argues that "good" cannot be defined and that attempts to do so commit the naturalistic fallacy. The work explores three fundamental questions: What is good? What things are inherently good or bad? And what actions should we take? Moore's groundbreaking arguments profoundly influenced moral philosophy
and shaped the thinking of the Bloomsbury Group. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
