The paper explores Moore's conception of analysis and relates it to his defence of common
sense and ordinary language as its vehicle of expression. Section 1 studies the role
that analysis plays in his philosophy and its importance to tackle philosophical problems.
Section 2 gives an account of what a Moorean analysis consists of, discusses the criteria
that a proper analysis should satisfy and classifies the different types of analysis found in
Moore's writings. It also argues against considering them either linguistic or conceptual.
Section 3 clarifies the notions of common sense and ordinary language giving prominence
to the former. The discussion aims at solving two questions: a ) how to recognise a common
sense proposition and b ) how to adscribe a truth-bearer to such proposition. Finally we
focus on the role given to common sense and/or ordinary language as touchstone to accept
or reject philosophical arguments
