G.E. Moore
(1873-1958), PhilosopherGeorge Edward ('G.E.') Moore
Sitter in 18 portraits
During his career at Cambridge University and as editor of the philosophical journal, Mind, Moore made an enormous contribution to the development of twentieth-century Anglo-American thought. He was one of the founders of the Analytic tradition in philosophy, more interested in analysing the significance of common-sense beliefs than in debating their truth. He was an influence on Bertrand Russell and Ludwig Wittgenstein. Moore entered Trinity College in 1892 and became a fellow in 1898. Apart from the years 1904-11, he spent the rest of his life at the University. He was appointed Professor in 1925, confirming his position as the most highly respected British philosopher of the time.
