description
Moore manages to present central, limiting, typical philosophical problems in such a way that the reader in spite of himself begins to feel them. And without this feeling of the difficulty there can be no full understanding of what it is to remove it. The idea that there is nothing much to make a fuss about is as fatal as the idea that nothing much can be done about it. For this reason alone Moore's introduction to philosophical difficulties can help us to judge and to understand the most modern attempts to resolve them. But further the ruthless clarity with which Moore shows us the pathless jungle before us helps us to realize what must be done to get through. There is no path. We must cut a way from tree to tree. It often happens of course that one cannot tell where one wishes to go until one starts. But there are times when it is timely to ask 'Now where am I trying to go?' Moore has always reminded us of this. One thing he has always sought to keep before us is the difference between questions as to what is actually the case and questions as to what it is logically possible should be the case, the meanings of our words being what they are. In him too we find a habit of thought which, carried further by Wittgenstein, led to enormous advances -the study of the meaning of general terms by consideration of concrete cases.
