Review

Themes from G. E. Moore is a collection of sixteen new essays written by prominent contemporary philosophers. The essays explore a wide variety of themes arising from Moore's work in epistemology and ethics...The collection...reinforces Moore's reputation as one of the truly great philosophers of the twentieth century and demonstrates the resonance and durability of his ideas for contemporary philosophic controversies. (Gregory D. Gilson, teorema)
