G. E. Moore famously observed that to assert, 'I went to the
pictures last Tuesday but I don't believe that I did' would be
'absurd'. Moore calls it a 'paradox' that this absurdity persists
despite the fact that what I say about myself might be true. Over
half a century later, such sayings continue to perplex philosophers
and other students of language, logic, and cognition. Ludwig
Wittgenstein was fascinated by Moore's example, and the absurdity
of Moore's saying was intensively discussed in the mid-20th
century. Yet the source of the absurdity has remained elusive, and
its recalcitrance has led researchers in recent decades to address
it with greater care. In this definitive treatment of the problem
of Moorean absurdity Green and Williams survey the history and
relevance of the paradox and leading approaches to resolving it,
and present new essays by leading thinkers in the area.
Contributors Jonathan Adler, Bradley Armour-Garb, Jay D. Atlas,
Thomas Baldwin, Claudio de Almeida, Andre Gallois, Robert Gordon,
Mitchell Green, Alan Hajek, Roy Sorensen, John Williams
