Motivational internalism: The powers and limits of practical reasoning
Philosophia 19 (4):417-36 (1989)
Abstract
My aim in this paper is to articulate and defend a version of motivational internalism. The simplest version is a crude instrumentalism according to which reasoning can generate motivation in us only by identifying means to ends that we already desire. The view advanced here is much less restrictive.Author's Profile
