Ethics (1907) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781164063896)

Ethics (1907) is a philosophical book written by G. E. Moore, a prominent British philosopher of the early 20th century. The book is considered a groundbreaking work in the field of ethics and is still widely read and discussed today. In the book, Moore argues that ethical statements are not reducible to natural or scientific facts, and that they cannot be derived from any other source. He argues that ethical statements are instead based on a unique property of goodness, which cannot be defined or analyzed in terms of any other property. Moore calls this property of goodness the ""non-natural"" property, and he argues that it is a fundamental aspect of the universe that cannot be reduced to any other property.Moore also discusses the nature of moral reasoning and the relationship between ethical principles and actions. He argues that ethical principles are not simply rules or guidelines for behavior, but are instead expressions of the non-natural property of goodness. He also explores the role of intuition in ethical reasoning, arguing that our intuitive understanding of the non-natural property of goodness is the foundation of all ethical reasoning.Overall, Ethics (1907) is a seminal work in the field of ethics that continues to influence contemporary philosophical discussions about the nature of morality and ethical reasoning.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
