This volume contains C. D. Broad's Cambridge lectures on Ethics.
Broad gave a course of lectures on the subject, intended primarily
for Part I of the Moral Sciences Tripos, every academic year from
1933 - 34 up to and in cluding 1952 - 53 (except that he did not
lecture on Ethics in 1935 - 36). The course however was frequently
revised, and the present version is es sentially that which he gave
in 1952 - 53. Broad always wrote out his lectures fully beforehand,
and the manuscript on Ethics, although full of revisions, is in a
reasonably good state. But his handwriting is small and close and
in places difficult to decipher. I therefore fear that some words
may have been misread. There was an additional complication. In the
summer of 1953 Broad revised and enlarged two sections of the
course, namely the section on "Moore's theory" and that on
"Naturalistic theories" (both sections occur in Chapter 4). The
revised version of the section on Moore is undoubtedly superior to
the earlier version, and I have therefore included it. But in my
opinion this is not true of the new version of the section on
naturalistic theories: although more comprehensive than the earlier
version, it is not only repetitive in itself, but also repeats,
sometimes almost verbatim, passages which occur elsewhere in the
lectures. In brief, the new version is not fully integrated with
the rest of the course."
