Any account of Philosophy in Cambridge must emphasise the work of at least three men – Bertrand Russell, G. E. Moore, and Ludwig Wittgenstein. These three transformed the discipline of philosophy during the first half of the last century and made Cambridge the most important centre for philosophy in the English-speaking world. The Faculty is lucky enough to have this portrait of G. E. Moore. The messages from his famous book 'Principia Ethica', were taken to heart by Moore's friends and became characteristic of the 'Bloomsbury Group'. He became Professor of Philosophy in 1925. The Faculty is a private educational institution. If you wish to see a particular painting, please contact the collection.
