Principia Ethica (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781023352819)

G.E. Moore's "Principia Ethica" remains a cornerstone of 20th-century ethics and moral philosophy. This seminal work rigorously examines fundamental questions about the nature of good and the foundations of moral judgements. Moore challenges conventional ethical theories, arguing for an objective and intrinsic value of good that cannot be reduced to natural properties.

Delving into the core concepts of ethics, "Principia Ethica" explores the possibilities and limitations of defining "good," and offers a compelling argument against the naturalistic fallacy. It challenges readers to critically examine their own moral assumptions.

A pivotal text in philosophical thought, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the development of ethics, logic, and the ongoing debate surrounding the nature of morality. This carefully prepared print edition offers a valuable opportunity to engage with Moore's groundbreaking ideas.
