Abstract

Moore’s paradox, generated by statements such as, ‘It’s raining but I don’t believe it’ and, ‘It’s raining but I believe it isn’t,’ has fascinated philosophers ever since G. E. Moore introduced it in 1942. This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the literature surrounding the paradox, and offers a unified treatment of the paradox in its various forms, both in thought and speech.
