Excerpt from Principia Ethica Again, I would wish it observed that, when I call such propositions Intuitions, ' I mean merely to assert that they are incapable of proof I imply nothing whatever as to the manner or origin of our cognition of them. Still less do I imply (as most Intuitionists have done) that any proposition whatever is true, because we cognise it in a particular way or by the exercise of any particular faculty: I hold, on the contrary, that in every way in which it is possible to cognise a true proposition, it is also possible to cognise a false one.
