Customer Reviews

Secret society in England!

Combo philosophy and biography of Moore, who Leonard Woolf called, "The only great man whom I have ever met in the world of ordinary, real life." How did Moore get to have such a big influence on English intellectual life in Bloomsbury? That's what the author wanted to find out. Chapters include the Intellectual Aristocracy, Moore at Cambridge, the Apostles (secret society in the UK), Moore as an Apostle, Moore's apprenticeship, working for a Fellowship, his time as a Prize fellow of Trinity, Principia Ethica and much more. Out of print and hard to find. Recommended.
