As Moore Writes In His Preface, "The Author Of The Papers Collected In This Volume Seemed To Me To Combine Very Exceptional Brilliance With Very Great Soundness Of Judgment In Philosophy. He Was An Extraordinarily Clear Thinker And Had, Moreover, An Exceptional Power Of Drawing Conclusions From A Complicated Set Of Facts. And, With All This, He Produced The Impression Of Also Possessing The Soundest Common Sense. Ramsey Was Not Only Exceptionally Capable Of Thinking Clearly Himself; He Also Had A Most Uncommon Power Of Explaining Clearly To Others What He Thought And Why He Thought It". Ramsey Was One Of The "Profoundest Thinkers" Of The Cambridge Group, A Friend Of Wittgenstein, Who Died At The Age Of 26.
