W. D. Ross
Sir William David Ross (15 April 18775 May 1971), known as
David Ross but usually cited as
W. D. Ross, was a Scottish
Aristotelian philosopher, translator, WWI veteran, civil servant, and university administrator. His best-known work is ''
The Right and the Good'' (1930), in which he developed a
pluralist,
deontological form of
intuitionist ethics in response to
G. E. Moore's consequentialist form of intuitionism. Ross also
critically edited and translated a number of Aristotle's works, such as his 12-volume translation of
Aristotle together with
John Alexander Smith, and wrote on other Greek philosophy.
