Question
This essay argues that a certain concept survived outside of the framework that made it intelligible, leaving it with “mere mesmeric force… retaining the suggestion of force… but which no longer signifies a real concept.” In a footnote, this paper’s author dismisses a man in a discussion group who used the improbable example of avoiding a nuclear war by executing an innocent person. This paper excoriates a philosophy derided as a “temptation” elevated to the status of a philosophy in its takedown of (*) Henry Sidgwick. This essay uses the example of buying potatoes from a grocer to illustrate the concept of brute facts. This essay, which argues that we should “jettison” the “moral concept of ‘ought,’” coined the term “consequentialism.” For 10 points, name this G. E. M. Anscombe paper credited with reviving virtue ethics. ■END■
