Abstract

Introduces various distinctions: between the reasons why we should act, those for which we act, and the reasons why we act. It also distinguishes between Humeanism and anti‐Humeanism in the theory of motivation, psychologism, and anti‐psychologism in the theory of motivation, internalism, and externalism and desire‐based and value‐based theories of normative reasons.
