Cambridge Realism

It was towards the end of 1898,” wrote Bertrand Russell, that Moore and I rebelled against both Kant and Hegel. Moore led the way, but I followed closely in his footsteps. … I felt…a great liberation, as if I had escaped from a hot house onto a windswept headland. In the first exuberance of liberation, I became a naïve realist and rejoiced in the thought that grass really is green. (Russell 1959, 22)
