 Note first that Moore’s conception of self-evidence is of propositions whose truth does not depend on anything else; these would be propositions that express a sort of brute fact. Nothing obviously follows about the epistemic status of such propositions or about beliefs in such propositions. In this respect, Moore’s conception of self-evidence differs from the standard conception. Second, given his conception of self-evidence, Moore chooses an odd example of a self-evident proposition. For that pleasure is not the only good seems to follow from various propositions regarding what things are good, propositions that Moore accepted—and that are apparently self-evident—e.g., that appreciation of beauty is good.
