| Philosopher, born in London, UK. He studied at Dulwich College and Cambridge, and left classics for philosophy, where he first embraced then rejected the claims of Hegelian idealism. His major ethical work was Principia Ethica (1903), in which he argued against the naturalistic fallacy. At Cambridge he became a lecturer in moral science (1911), and professor of mental philosophy and logic (1925–39). He was a leading influence on the Bloomsbury group. He also edited the journal Mind (1921–47), and made it the major English-language journal in the field. |
