Who was W. D. Ross?
Sir William David Ross KBE, usually cited as W. D. Ross, was a Scottish philosopher, known for work in ethics. His best known work is The Right and the Good, and he is perhaps best known for developing a pluralist, deontological form of intuitionist ethics in response to G.E. Moore's intuitionism. However, Ross also critically edited and translated a number of Aristotle's works, and wrote on Greek philosophy.
