      abstract = {This book remedies the absence in the history of analytic  philosophy of a detailed examination of G.E. Moores  philosophical views as they developed between 1894 and  1902. This period saw the inauguration of analytic  philosophy through the work of Moore and Bertrand Russell.  Moores early views are examined in detail through  unpublished archival material, including surviving letters,  diaries, notes of lectures attended, papers for Cambridge  societies, and drafts of early work, in order to revise the  established view that the origin of analytic philosophy at  Cambridge was an abrupt split from F.H. Bradleys Absolute  Idealism. Traditional accounts of this period have  highlighted the anti-psychologism of Freges logic but have  not explored the impact of this movement more broadly.  Anti-psychologism was a key feature of the work of Moores  teachers on the nature of the mind and its objects, in  their interpretation of Kant, and in ethics. Moores  teachers G.F. Stout and James Ward were significant  contributors to the late 19th century debates in mental  science and the developing new science of psychology. Henry  Sidgwicks criticisms of Kant and Bradley and his leading  work in ethics were key influences on Moore. Moores Trinity  Fellowship Dissertations are essential historical evidence  of the development of Moore's new theory of judgment, a  theory whose defining role in the origins of analytic  philosophy cannot be overstated. Moores study of Kant in  his dissertations ultimately formed the groundwork for his  Principia Ethica (1903), which evolved from ideas that  manifested in Moores earliest Apostles papers, developed  through his dissertations, and were refined through his  Elements of Ethics lectures (1898-99). This monumental work  of early twentieth century ethics is thus shown to be the  culmination of Moores early philosophical development.},
