George Edward "G. E." Moore OM FBA (/mʊər/; 4 November 1873 – 24 October 1958) was an English philosopher. He was, with Bertrand Russell, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and (before them) Gottlob Frege, one of the founders of the analytic tradition in philosophy. Along with Russell, he led the turn away from idealism in British philosophy, and became well known for his advocacy of common sense concepts, his contributions to ethics, epistemology, and metaphysics, and "his exceptional personality and moral character." He was Professor of Philosophy at the University of Cambridge, highly influential among (though not a member of) the Bloomsbury Group, and the editor of the influential journal Mind. He was elected a fellow of the British Academy in 1918. He was a member of the Cambridge Apostles, the intellectual secret society, from 1894 to 1901, and the Cambridge University Moral Sciences Club.
Moore was born in Upper Norwood, Croydon, Greater London, on 4 November 1873, the middle child of seven of Dr Daniel Moore and Henrietta Sturge. His grandfather was the author Dr George Moore. His eldest brother was Thomas Sturge Moore, a poet, writer and engraver.

Thomas Baldwin discusses G.E. Moore and his philosophical development from British absolute idealism (which was the dominant view at the time) to common sense realism. He discusses the historical context, the development of particular ideas, important thinkers like John McTaggart and Bertrand Russell, and how analytic philosophy itself was born.
Dialogue about G. E. Moore's famous proof, using the following passages from his article, "Proof of an External World": "proof of the existence of things outside of us... I can now give a large number of different proofs [of the existence of things outside of us], each of which is a perfectly rigorous proof... I can prove now, for instance, that two human hands exist. How? By holding up my two hands, and saying, as I make a certain gesture with the right hand, "Here is one hand", and adding, as I make a certain gesture with the left, "and here is another" "the proof which I gave was a perfectly rigorous one; and... it is perhaps impossible to give a better or more rigorous proof of anything whatever.... (1)... the premiss which I adduced as proof of the conclusion was different fro...
An explanation of Bertrand Russell's Barren Tautology argument and G. E. Moore's Open Question against goodness as a property.
On G.E. Moore's Principia Ethica, ch. 1 (1903); Charles Leslie Stevenson's "The Emotive Meaning of Ethical Terms" (1937), and Alasdair MacIntyre's After Virtue, ch. 1-2. Is there such a thing as moral intuition? Is "good" a simple property that we all recognize but can't explain like yellow? G.E. Moore thinks that any attempt to define good in terms of properties like "pleasure," "interest," or "happiness" are doomed. Even if all pleasurable things were good, the word "good" still wouldn't mean "pleasant;" you could always sensibly ask, "but are those pleasant things really good?" This is Moore's "open question" argument, which expresses his objection to the "naturalistic fallacy," which states that you can't derive an "ought" from an "is." You can find the entire unabridged Ethics podca...
In this Wireless Philosophy video, Jennifer Nagel (University of Toronto) looks at three historically influential responses to the challenge of skepticism. We start with René Descartes’s efforts to prove that God would not let us be chronically deceived. Next, we examine Bertrand Russell’s efforts to disprove the skeptic through a strategy called ‘inference to the best explanation’, and we finish with G. E. Moore’s common sense approach.

The denial of the conclusion is more plausible than the conjunction of the premises. There must be something here to reject; somethings gotta give. I'm gonna do the G.E. Moore shift. I wanna do the G.E. Moore shift. Come on the G.E. Moore shift. I wanna do the G.E. Moore shift. I can't believe you think that that's true. How can you accept the consequence of that view? I can't believe you think that that's true. How can you accept the consequence of that view? There's nothing ...
In this video, I examine moral non-naturalism, a form of moral realism. First I outline some general motivations for moral realism, then I present G.E. Moore's use of his "open-question argument" to defend non-naturalism.
Le téléphone sonne, qui c'est ?
Mon assistant qui veut savoir pour
Ma soirée quels sont les points.
Y a pas de soirée haute couture
U truc d'immense signé Dony Gomez à l'ancienne
Jai dis, dis moi de le V.I.P, et prépare le champagne
Chocolat en montagne je décolle d'ici
Je saute dans la foule sous top classe
Tout est en bonne place pour mes b-boys
Je tape la grande classe
Je pose pour les flash à l'entrée
Signer quelques papiers
Je pose un cas dans le creux d'un décolleté
Hey! alors on peut commencer
"Mademoiselle voulez-vous m'accompagner ?"
{Refrain:}
Viens me rejoindre au V.I.P
Ou les femmes sont belles,
Se mettent en dentelles et leur corps qui brille
V.I.P que les femmes sont belles quand elles dansent
En tandem et leurs corps qui brillent
V.I.P si les femmes sont belles
Et qu'elles dansent à l'ancienne c'était
Bien et belle au V.I.P, V.I.P
Tous se passe comme je veux et c'est parfait
Tout le monde dans la place est en feu et c'est carré
Puisse que le son est bon et que les femmes sont belles
Si les anges du jour devient diables la nuit c'est que les
Histoires du jour sont leur mal aujourd'hui
Lady danse bouge dans tout les sens à l'affut des
Regards, Laisse on s'en fout de ce que les gens pensent
Nous on est là pour ça pour les autres c'est un show
Live entre toi et moi personne d'autre n'a dri gag x
Et un bon petit cubain c'est la good life.
Je lève mon verre à ma santé à la tienne
Et puisque le son est bon
Et que les Femmes sont belles.
Eh vas-y lève ton verre si tu le fais à
L'ancienne et puisse que le son est bon
