By reflecting on what is "good in itself" in his book Principia Ethica , G.E. Moore endeavours to establish ethics as a theory of the good. Sung Hyun Kim shows that if the implications of this prolegomenous claim are taken to their full extent in their relation to ethics, it can be seen that the quest for certainty is the fundamental question of any ethics.

Moore endeavours to establish ethics as a theory of the good. Sung Hyun Kim shows that if the implications of this prolegomenous claim are taken to their full extent in their relation to ethics, it can be seen that the quest for certainty is the fundamental question of any ethics.
