Matthew Yglesias wants to know
Is there any reason at all for me to take G.E. Moore’s “open question”argument seriously in light of the collapse of the analytic/synthetic distinction and the rise of a posteriori necessity? There really doesn’t seem to be, but I have a hard time understanding why I was assigned the paper unless there is.
Against all my better judgement, I left my first thoughts on the matter on his comments board, and you should too.
