Moorean Absurdity: An Epistemological Analysis

Abstract

Abstract In view of what the philosophical imagination has done with Moore’s paradox, there should be no doubt that Moorean Absurdity may be symptomatic of a number of philosophical ills (that is, the kind of flaw of intellectual or moral character that philosophers seek to understand). A main concern for those who have been influential in the debate about the problem is explaining why a Moore-absurd belief is a case of irrationality. Indeed, whatever else may truly be said about it, we will not have found a satisfactory account of Moorean Absurdity until we have an unobjectionable explanation of this peculiar form of doxastic irrationality.
