" Similarly, Army Major Merrill Moore called for policies to encourage moderation among soldiers who chose to drink and asserted: " Not alcohol, but the intemperate use of alcohol, is the problem in the Army as well as in civilian life.

Moore is best known today for his defence of ethical non-naturalism, his emphasis on common sense in philosophical method, and the paradox that bears his name.

Moore thought Thales ' reasoning was one of the few historical examples of philosophical inquiry resulting in practical advances.

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 Moore's own work on the paradox, the puzzle also inspired a great deal of work by Ludwig Wittgenstein, who described the paradox as the most impressive philosophical insight that Moore had ever introduced.

Distinguishing between ends and means was a commonplace of ethics, but what made Moore ’ s Principia Ethica ( 1903 ) so important for the philosophical basis of Bloomsbury thought was Moore's conception of intrinsic worth as distinct from instrumental value.

By then the work on the " Dictionary of Philosophy and Psychology " ( 1902 ) had been announced and a period of intense philosophical correspondence ensued with the contributors to the project: William James, John Dewey, Charles Sanders Peirce, Josiah Royce, George Edward Moore, Bernard Bosanquet, James McKeen Cattell, Edward B. Titchener, Hugo Münsterberg, Christine Ladd-Franklin, Adolf Meyer, George Stout, Franklin Henry Giddings, Edward Bagnall Poulton and others.

Russell and Moore made a dismissal of Hegelianism and its philosophical relatives a distinctive part of their new movement.

Moore cited Thales ' reasoning as one of the few historical examples of how philosophical inquiry has led to genuine human understanding and progress.

) They might even point to historical examples of seminal philosophical works which have, to some degree or another, played a similar role to paradigm achievements in the natural sciences -- landmark, tradition-establishing works such as those of Plato, or Immanuel Kant's three Critiques, or the ground-breaking Analytic works of Bertrand Russell and G. E. Moore.

The doctrines of British idealism so provoked the young Cambridge philosophers G. E. Moore and Bertrand Russell that they began a new philosophical tradition, analytic philosophy.

The open-question argument is a philosophical argument put forward by British philosopher G. E. Moore in § 13 of Principia Ethica ( 1903 ), to refute the equating of the property good with some non-moral property, whether naturalistic ( e. g. pleasure ) or meta-physical ( e. g. God's command ).

Notable Pakastani philosophical organizations include The Pakistan Philosophical Congress, which was founded by M. M. Sharif, a pupil of G. E. Moore, in 1954, and the Islamic Philosophical Association.

Wittgenstein terminated their association abruptly in 1935 when Ambrose decided, with encouragement from Moore, to publish an article entitled " Finitism in Mathematics " in the philosophical journal Mind which was intended to give an account of Wittgenstein's position on the subject.

Moore contends that even if such arguments are correct, they do not provide definitions for the term ' good.

Moore argued that once arguments based on the naturalistic fallacy had been discarded, questions of intrinsic goodness could only be settled by appeal to what he ( following Sidgwick ) called " moral intuitions :" self-evident propositions which recommend themselves to moral reflection, but which are not susceptible to either direct proof or disproof ( PE § 45 ).

Moore coined the term " naturalistic fallacy " to describe arguments of this form ; he explains ( in § 12 ) that the fallacy involved is an instance of a more general type of fallacy, which he leaves unnamed, but which we might call the " definitional fallacy ".

Moore in particular delivered what quickly came to be accepted as conclusive arguments against Idealism.

Moore, there can be no end to the process of set formation, and thus no such thing as the totality of all sets, or the set hierarchy.

Moore dealt with casuistry in chapter 1. 4 of his Principia Ethica ; he claimed that " the defects of casuistry are not defects of principle ; no objection can be taken to its aim and object.

Trilogy can be credited with popularizing the genre of conspiracy fiction, a field later mined by authors like Umberto Eco ( Foucault's Pendulum ) and Dan Brown ( Angels and Demons, The Da Vinci Code, The Lost Symbol ), comic book writers like Alan Moore ( V for Vendetta, Watchmen ), Dave Sim ( Cerebus ) and Grant Morrison ( The Invisibles ), and screenwriters like Chris Carter ( The X-Files ) and Damon Lindelof ( Lost ).

Moore had earlier explored similar ideas in Watchmen, where Dr. Manhattan perceives past, present and future simultaneously, and describes himself as " a puppet who can see the strings ".

Moore compares the multitude of increasingly outlandish Ripper theories to a Koch snowflake, where a finite, fixed location, event and era ( London, in late 1888 ) can have an infinite number of nooks and crannies.

Frances Moore Lappé, later co-founder of the Institute for Food and Development Policy ( Food First ) argued in Diet for a Small Planet ( 1971 ) that vegetarian diets can provide food for larger populations, with the same resources, compared to omnivorous diets.

Research by Robin Moore ( Childhood's Domain: Play and Place, 1986 ) has clearly shown that playgrounds need to be balanced with marginal areas that ( to adults ) appear to be derelict or wasteground but to children they are area's that they can claim for themselves, ideally a wooded area or field.

A type of playground called a playscape can provide children with the necessary feeling of ownership that Moore describes above.

The term gel permeation chromatography can be traced back to J. C. Moore of the Dow Chemical Company who investigated the technique in 1964 and the proprietary column technology was licensed to Waters, who subsequently commercialized this technology in 1964.

A Moore machine can be defined as a 6-tuple ( S, S < sub > 0 </ sub >, Σ, Λ, T, G ) consisting of the following:

This is due to the fact that each transition in a Mealy machine can be associated with a corresponding, additional state mapping the transition to a single output in the Moore machine, hence turning a possibly partial machine into a complete machine.

More complex Moore machines can have multiple inputs as well as multiple outputs.

His harshest critic was Augustus Moore, who wrote " God help English literature when English people lay aside their Waverley novels, and the works of Defoe, Swift, Thackeray, Charlotte Bronte, George Eliot, and even Charles Reade for the penny dreadfuls of Mr Haggard "; adding, " The man who could write ' he spoke to She ' can have no ear at all ".
