Biography
Thomas Baldwin
'Moore was extremely clever ... He never dealt with trivial issues but only with matters of central philosophical importance. He never wrote for effect; he never tried to dazzle; his only concern was with the truth ... Baldwin's selection of writings seems to me admirable. They include many of his best and most characteristic things.' - Peter Strawson
'Moore added a dimension of analytical acuteness and precision to the defense of commom sense that was previously unknown and remains unexcelled. His clear and profound analyses are a monument to the power of the human mind to understand itself, the external world, and relation of one to the other.' - Keith Lehrer, University of Arizona
