T. M. Scanlon offers a qualified defense of normative cognitivism—the view that there are irreducibly normative truths about reasons for action. He responds to three familiar objections: that such truths would have troubling metaphysical implications; that we would have no way of knowing what they are; and that the role of reasons in motivating and explaining action could not be explained if accepting a conclusion about reasons for action were a kind of belief. Scanlon answers the first of these objections within a general account of ontological commitment, applying to mathematics as well as normative judgments. He argues that the method of reflective equilibrium, properly understood, provides an adequate account of how we come to know both normative truths and mathematical truths, and that the idea of a rational agent explains the link between an agent's normative beliefs and his or her actions. Whether every statement about reasons for action has a determinate truth value is a question to be answered by an overall account of reasons for action, in normative terms. Since it seems unlikely that there is such an account, the defense of normative cognitivism offered here is qualified: statements about reasons for action can have determinate truth values, but it is not clear that all of them do. Along the way, Scanlon offers an interpretation of the distinction between normative and non-normative claims, a new account of the supervenience of the normative on the non-normative, an interpretation of the idea of the relative strength of reasons, and a defense of the method of reflective equilibrium.

The second argument, which I will consider in this lecture, is that an account that interprets judgements about reasons as beliefs is unable to explain the practical significance of such judgements, in particular their connection with action.2018-07-25 10:52:30 1人喜欢

当代metaethics 和50年代的关注点不同。 With respect to prudence and morality, the questions are why a person has reason to do what will benefit him or her in the future, and to do what morality demands.2018-07-21 10:12:50

Realistic Cognitivism about reasons: a view that is cognitivist in holding that claims about reasons for action can be correct or incorrect, but realistic also in recognizing that there may be limits to the range of cases in which such claims have determinate truth values.2018-07-21 10:25:20

Reasons might be fundamental in the further sense of being the only fundamental elements of the normative domain, other normative notions such as good and ought being analyzable in terms of reasons.2018-07-21 10:28:35

一百来页构筑了一个完整一致的元伦理系统,回应了几乎所有该领域的主要问题。再仔细铺展一下主要论点就更好了,感觉写成五百页都不过。
