ABSTRACT
Wordsworth's epithet for Cambridge, the "garden of great intellects" (The Prelude y267), handsomely describes Richards' Cambridge. From 1890 to World War I, the university witnessed its finest philosophical flowering since the Puritanism and Platonism of the seventeenth century. "Whitehead, Russell, Moore, McTaggart and the rest," observed Richards, "were all prophets, as it were, of various kinds."5 "The rest" of the Cambridge moral science faculty included the logicians John Neville Keynes, W. E. Johnson, and John Venn, the economist John Maynard Keynes, and the philosophical psychologist James Ward. Wittgenstein arrived in Cambridge in 19u and immediately drew the attention of Russell and Moore. C. D. Broad's Perception, Physics, and Reality appeared in 1914.
