In this book, setting aside his consideration of specifically
ethical topics, I try to provide a comprehensive interpretation of
Moore's thought. Against the background of this general
interpretation I examine in detail his work on some of the central
problems of metaphysics and, because Moore's being able to sustain
a consistent anti-skepticism is essential to the survival of the
base from which he works on those problems, of epistemology too.
The interpretation of which I speak involves my taking as the
centerpiece of Moore's philosophical work his book, Some Main
Problems of Philosophy, written in 1910 as the text of a lecture
series but left unpublished for over forty years thereafter. That
book is aptly titled, for the issues with which Moore deals in it
are indeed among the main problems of philosophy. Not least of
these are the problems of formulating a general categorial
deSCription of the world and then of defending that formulation.
However, while I will discuss Moore's work in light of its
contribution to this project of taking metaphysical inventory, it
is important to note that he, in common with many other major
figures in contemporary analytical philosophy, did not approach
specific philosophical puzzles with a view to possibly integrating
solutions to them into a comprehensive theory about reality as a
whole, that is, into what might be called a metaphysical system.
