This book remedies the absence in the history of analytic
philosophy of a detailed examination of G. E. Moore's philosophical
views as they developed between 1894 and 1902. This period saw the
inauguration of analytic philosophy through the work of Moore and
Bertrand Russell. Moore's early views are examined in detail
through unpublished archival material, including surviving letters,
diaries, notes of lectures attended, papers for Cambridge
societies, and drafts of early work, in order to revise the
established view that the origin of analytic philosophy at
Cambridge was an abrupt split from F. H. Bradley's Absolute
Idealism. Traditional accounts of this period have highlighted the
anti-psychologism of Frege's logic but have not explored the impact
of this movement more broadly. Anti-psychologism was a key feature
of the work of Moore's teachers on the nature of the mind and its
objects, in their interpretation of Kant, and in ethics. Moore's
teachers G.F. Stout and James Ward were significant contributors to
the late 19th century debates in mental science and the developing
new science of psychology. Henry Sidgwick's criticisms of Kant and
Bradley and his leading work in ethics were key influences on
Moore. Moore's Trinity Fellowship Dissertations are essential
historical evidence of the development of Moore's new theory of
judgment, a theory whose defining role in the origins of analytic
philosophy cannot be overstated. Moore's study of Kant in his
dissertations ultimately formed the groundwork for his Principia
Ethica (1903), which evolved from ideas that manifested in Moore's
earliest Apostles' papers, developed through his dissertations, and
were refined through his Elements of Ethics lectures (1898-99).
This monumental work of early twentieth century ethics is thus
shown to be the culmination of Moore's early philosophical
development.
