Question

Two answers required. An essay by one of these thinkers pairs the other with Coleridge as the “seminal minds” of their age. A claim made by one of these thinkers is the subject of a “proof” by the other based on an analogy between being “visible” and “desirable,” which G. E. Moore cited as a case of the naturalistic fallacy. One of these thinkers was quoted by the other as calling poetry no better than the game push-pin and led the Philosophical Radicals with the other’s father James.
