Moore on Skepticism

What is it about?

One of the most important views in the recent discussion of scepticism about knowledge is Neo-Mooreanism. Its adherents argue that we can know a lot of the ordinary things we think we know, and that we can thus refute scepticism.This paper argues that George Edward Moore was not a Moorean in this sense. This paper follows Moore's views of what the sceptical problem is and how one should respond to it through a series of crucial papers with the main focus being on Moore's 'Proof of an External World'.

Why is it important?

There is a lot of talk about Neo-Mooreanism these days but little attention to the interesting and important different views Moore himself had. These views can give impulses to the current discussion of epistemic scepticism.
