"Philosophical studies" by George Edward Moore,1922
..
If the language by the use of which philosophical problems and theories are formulated is clarified,the problems often disappear.
.
There is usually,some good reason why the language of common sense is insisted upon,and philosophers would do well to take common sense seriously.
For example,the idealists argues that to be -to exist- is to be perceived,
but he fails to distinguish between the awareness of something,
on the one hand,and the content of awareness on the other.
.
Again,the pragmatists claim that true ideas are simply ideas which work ;
but this claim is ambiguous,and by a clarification of language it can be shown to what extent it is true and to what extent false.
