| Abstract: | George E. Moore, one of the founders of the analytic tradition in philosophy, defines ethics as what we ought and ought not to do. It is a deliberation and although feelings such as empathy come into most decision, ethics is not only a feeling but has to be supported by reason. In fact, saying that ethics is only a feeling or an intuition, not needing any reason, has to be supported by argument itself, annulling the very assertion. |
