Summary

Unveiling the Naturalistic Fallacy: A Guide to Contemporary Ethics

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.
