ABSTRACT
Moore, G. E. criticism of Naturalism has indeed been of great service to Ethics as he believed it would be, for it brings home to us afresh the important fact that the distinctive nature of morality cannot be realized merely in terms of non-value facts. The presence of this attitude means that the agent has positive resistance against doing anything that is objectionable from point of view of morality. Courage which is shown in willingness to sacrifice personal needs (which sometimes includes even the need to be alive) in the service of some end, as well as in willingness to endure pain and suffering, is another attitude through which one shows one’s understanding of one’s own self from the point of view of morality. Justice is concerned with human needs—with the requirement that any group or groups of individuals are not to be treated in such way as to assume that the needs of some have prior claim to fulfilment.
