Moore, A., "Hedonism", in Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, http://plato.stanford.edu/hedonism.html, April 2004

Current Research Interests

"Hedonism": revision of my Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry.

"Ethical Theory": the nature of theories of right and wrong, and of the features desirable for such theories to have.

"Objectivism about well-being": defends objectivism against criticisms that are widely thought to have merit.

"What job (if any) should ethics committees be given?": argues for one answer and against another; and that these two answers are muddled together by many guidelines and authors.
