Ethics is a philosophical work written by G. E. Moore and published in 1907. The book explores various ethical theories and concepts, including the nature of goodness, moral obligation, and the relationship between ethics and religion. Moore argues that goodness is an intrinsic property that cannot be defined or reduced to any other concept. He also contends that moral judgments are objective and can be supported by reason, rather than being mere expressions of personal preference or cultural norms. Throughout the book, Moore engages with the ideas of other prominent philosophers, such as Immanuel Kant and Jeremy Bentham, and presents his own unique perspective on ethics. Ethics is considered a seminal work in the field of ethics and has had a significant influence on subsequent philosophical thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Reseña del editor
G. E. Moore's 1912 work Ethics has tended to be overshadowed by his famous earlier work Principia Ethica. However, its detailed discussions of utilitarianism, free will, and the objectivity of moral judgements find no real counterpart in Principia, while its account of right and wrong and of the nature of intrinsic value deepen our understanding of Moore's moral philosophy. Moore himself regarded the book highly, writing late in his career, "I myself like [it] better than Principia Ethica, because it seems to me to be much clearer and far less full of confusions and invalid arguments". Short but philosophically rich, and written with impressive precision and intellectual candor, Ethics is a minor classic which repays careful study. This new edition includes Moore's essay "The Nature of Moral Philosophy" as well as editorial notes, an introduction, and a guide to further reading.
