Abstract: Presents sixteen essays that represent the work in metaethics after, and in some cases inspired by, the work of G E Moore. While normative ethics is concerned to answer first-order moral questions about what is good and bad, right and wrong, metaethics is concerned to answer second-order non-moral questions about the semantics, and metaphysics.
