Some of the most challenging questions in philosophical ethics concern thejustification of action. Can you have reasons to do something that you are not, and perhaps cannotbe, motivated to do? If reasons rest on desires, why respect the rights and interests of others whendoing so prevents us from getting what we want? In other words, why be moral? In his 1979 essay,"Internal and External Reasons," Bernard Williams framed the dispute about reason andmotivation in a way that captured the philosophical imagination. An explosion of work on reasons andaction followed, with influential responses by Christine Korsgaard, John McDowell, and MichaelSmith. This volume collects the most important work on the topic, including Williams's seminalessay, the responses by Korsgaard, McDowell, and Smith, and more recent contributions by centralfigures. Taken together, the selections offer a comprehensive survey of state-of-the-art work oninternal reasons and a distinctive, focused approach to foundational questions of ethicalobjectivity. A substantive introduction by Kieran Setiya skillfully guides the reader through thetheoretical and conceptual terrain, explaining what is at stake in the largerdebate.
