For it is the business of Ethics, I must insist, not only to obtain true results, but also to find valid reasons for them. The direct object of Ethics is knowledge and not practice; and any one who uses the naturalistic fallacy has certainly not fulfilled this first object, however correct his practical principles may be. ( ) I don't have the proper context in philosophical reading to know where the ideas in Moore's book fit into the larger philosophy canon, but I found this book to be worthwhile from a dabbler's perspective. Moore discusses the purpose of ethics, the naturalistic fallacy, hedonism, and the ideal. He states that good "does denote a simple and indefinable notion" and explains the problems that occur when we identify good with something other than good. It seems that this concept would be important to remember. Elements of both hedonism and the naturalistic fallacy seem to be included in many works of literary fiction, but I haven't particularly labeled the naturalistic fallacy in past reading. Moore is definitely recommended but not easy. Moore provided the some of the Bloomsbury set with the appropriate philosophical leverage (ethical non-naturalism) to spring themselves from the Victorian-cum-Edwardian ethos. Quite striking during its time for those of a certain aesthetic cast of mind. Not as tough a slog as Whitehead, but not light reading, either. I have a grasp of the naturalistic fallacy and the open question argument, but Moore's paradox? Wittgenstein kept chewing on it like a dog worrying a bone.

First published in 1903, this volume revolutionized philosophy and forever altered the direction of ethical studies. A philosopher's philosopher, G. E. Moore was the idol of the Bloomsbury group, and Lytton Strachey declared that Principia Ethica marked the rebirth of the Age of Reason. This work clarifies some of moral philosophy's most common confusions and redefines the science's terminology. Moore's focus on conceptual analysis as a method of achieving clarity made him a founder of the current philosophical trend toward analytic and linguistic elements. His simplicity of style and precise use of everyday language exercised an enormous influence on the development of analytic philosophy, and they contribute to the continuing resonance of his compelling arguments.
