Not surprisingly, not everyone inclined to sceptical doubts found Moore's method of argument entirely convincing ; Moore, however, defends his argument on the grounds that sceptical arguments seem invariably to require an appeal to " philosophical intuitions " that we have considerably less reason to accept than we have for the common sense claims that they supposedly refute.

( In addition to fueling Moore's own work, the " Here is one hand " argument also deeply influenced Wittgenstein, who spent his last years working out a new approach to Moore's argument in the remarks that were published posthumously as On Certainty.

The 1903 article The Refutation of Idealism is one of the first demonstrations of Moore's commitment to analysis.

The point here is connected with Moore's understanding of properties and the terms that stand for them.

The target of Moore's discussion of the " naturalistic fallacy " is reductionism at least as much as it is naturalism specifically, and the important lesson, for Moore, is that the meaning of the term " good " and the nature of the property goodness are irreducibly sui generis.

According to Bernard Williams, Moore's use of the phrase ' naturalistic fallacy ' to describe this particular kind of meta-ethical thinking was a ' spectacular misnomer '; Williams contending that it is not properly either naturalistic or a fallacy.
