  6. To express the consequent of this entailment as ‘the color of x is between Red and Yellow’ might be more accurate, but it would complicate the analysis without changing any of its important features.

  8. “A Reply to My Critics,”The Philosophy of G. E. Moore, pp. 584–85. This point would hardly be worth mentioning, since Moore has returned to the language he used inPrincipia Ethica, except that the temptation to say that ethical properties are not intrinsic properties, which was the source of the confusion, is plainly relevant to what I wish to say about the matter.
