Principia Ethica - Exploring the Non-Natural Concept of Good: A Philosophical Inquiry into Ethics and Moral Dilemmas

G. E. Moore

Beschreibung

In "Principia Ethica," G. E. Moore presents a groundbreaking analysis of ethical theory, arguing for the significance of the intrinsic 'good' as a fundamental aspect of reality. Published in 1903, this philosophical treatise is noted for its rigorous logical structure and innovative approach to moral philosophy. Moore challenges prevalent ethical theories of his time, introducing the famous "naturalistic fallacy" which posits that one cannot derive 'ought' from 'is,' thereby setting a new direction in the study of ethics. The clarity of Moore's prose coupled with his precise arguments marks a pivotal moment in 20th-century philosophy, influencing both analytic and normative ethics dramatically. G. E. Moore, an English philosopher and a key figure in the early analytic tradition, was heavily influenced by the intellectual currents of his time, including the challenges posed by utilitarianism. His academic background at Cambridge and his close relationships with contemporaries like Bertrand Russell profoundly impacted his philosophical inquiries. Moore's commitment to clarity and rigor in ethical discourse led him to delve into the complexities of moral language and the nature of good, placing his work at the forefront of ethical theory. "Principia Ethica" is essential reading for anyone interested in the foundations of moral philosophy. Its arguments about the nature of good and the structure of ethical reasoning continue to resonate in contemporary discussions, making this work not only a cornerstone of philosophical literature but also a vital text for students and scholars alike. Engage with Moore's insights to enrich your understanding of ethical principles and their implications in today'Äôs moral landscape.

Sumer: The History of the Cities...

Editors Charles River

When American archaeologists discovered a collection of cuneiform tablets in Iraq in the late 19th century, they were confronted with a language and a people who were at the time only scarcely known to even the most knowledgeable scholars of ancient Mesopotamia: the Sumerians. The exploits and achievements of other Mesopotamian peoples, such as the Assyrians and Babylonians, were already known to a large segment of the population through the Old Testament and the nascent field of Near Eastern studies had unraveled the enigma of the Akkadian language that was widely used throughout the region in ancient times, but the discovery of the Sumerian tablets brought to light the existence of the Sumerian culture, which was the oldest of all the Mesopotamian cultures. 
Although the Sumerians continue to get second or even third billing compared to the Babylonians and Assyrians, perhaps because they never built an empire as great as the Assyrians or established a city as enduring and great as Babylon, they were the people who provided the template of civilization that all later Mesopotamians built upon. The Sumerians are credited with being the first people to invent writing, libraries, cities, and schools in Mesopotamia (Ziskind 1972, 34), and many would argue that they were the first people to create and do those things anywhere in world. 
For a people so great it is unfortunate that their accomplishments and contributions, not only to Mesopotamian civilization but to civilization in general, largely go unnoticed by the majority of the public. Perhaps the Sumerians were victims of their own success; they gradually entered the historical record, established a fine civilization, and then slowly submerged into the cultural patchwork of their surroundings.
