Ethical language : an examination of the use and meaning of ethical expressions

A very great part of this essay is taken up with the discussion of questions about the ordinary meaning of various words and longer expressions. None the less, this is neither a piece of amateur psychology nor a criticism of uses of words in any literary aspect, but an authentic philosophical study. To give the investigation of meanings the amount of attention I have given is inevitable in any work written from the special philosophical point of view which this essay is intended to illustrate. In reaching this point of view I have been more influenced by the writings and teaching of professor G. E. Moore than by any other single agency.
