At the turn of the twentieth century, G. E. Moore contemptuously
dismissed most previous 'ethical systems' for committing the
'Naturalistic Fallacy'. This fallacy - which has been variously
understood, but has almost always been seen as something to avoid -
was perhaps the greatest structuring force on subsequent ethical
theorising. To a large extent, to understand the Fallacy is to
understand contemporary ethics. This volume aims to provide that
understanding. Its thematic chapters - written by a range of
distinguished contributors - introduce the history, text and
philosophy behind Moore's charge of fallacy and its supporting
'open question' argument. They detail how the fallacy influenced
multiple traditions in ethics (including evolutionary, religious
and naturalistic approaches), its connections to supposed
dichotomies between 'is'/'ought' and facts/values, and its
continuing relevance to our understanding of normativity. Together,
the chapters provide a historical and opinionated introduction to
contemporary ethics that will be essential for students, teachers
and researchers.
