Outline of Final Research Achievements

We examined, focusing on G. E. Moore's theory of judgment, what made up the British New Realism in the 20th century. Moore criticized Kant for his inconsequence to the effect that a dogma of empiricism had blocked Kant's Transcendentalism. In order to realize Kant's project, Moore advocated his new theory of judgment which ascribes truth to the combination of non-temporal concepts.
We showed that Moore consequently had a bizarre opinion about contingent propositions and fell in a predicament, which Bertrand Russell's theory of descriptions could resolve, distinguishing constituents of a proposition from the things which the proposition is a propositon about.
