  1. GE Moore Response • Give GE Moore’s Response to hearing the following radio clip, work with someone else. WORDS- fallacy, illogical, meaningless, empirical, verifiable

  2. Learning Objectives:- • Extension Question – What inconsistency undermines Moore’s criticism? • To understand how GE Moore’s rejection of ethical naturalism leads him to an ethically non-naturalist position • To know what ethical non-naturalism and intuitionism mean and how they link to cognitive/non-cognitive positions • To consider W.D Ross’ prima facie duties

  3. Ethical Non-Naturalism • GE Moore rejects ethical naturalism, so how does he know what is good or bad if we cannot make a meaningful statement about them?

  4. Define yellow • “We know what yellow is and can recognise it whenever it is seen, but we cannot define yellow.”

  5. Intuitionism (Ethical Non-Naturalism) • “In the same way we know what good is. But we cannot actually define it.” Moore ‘PrincipaEthica’.

  6. Intuitionism • Self-evident first, rationalised second • Not with reference to any situation • Cognitive or non-cognitive (your intuition) ? • Undefinable but knowable W.D Ross G.E Moore

  7. Stand and Discuss (Your View) • Answer the question. Try to use an example to illustrate your point. • Please use the textbook section on ethical non-naturalism to guide your thoughts • Ext – Is intuitionism cognitive or non-cognitive?

  8. W.D Ross • Ross says there are foundational moral principles that are self-evident intuitive truths. He called these prima facie (roughly intuitive duty). • What might these be??? Diff. Pairs

  9. Prima Facie • Beneficence (being generous) • Faithfulness in relationships • Gratitude • Justice • Non-maleficence (not being hurtful) • Promise-keeping • Self-improvement

  10. Crits • Intuitionism crits… • Any objection to these intuitive foundational moral principles prima facie??? • Are they intuitive? Is faithfulness like the colour yellow?
