Humean sources of normativity

Herlinde Pauer-Studer

pp. 186-207

Abstract

A moral theory should, as many philosophers claim, offer us an account of obligation and motivation. It should address the following questions: How do we specify the reasons that morally require us to do X? How does the recognition that we are required to do X bring us to do X? The task is to provide an answer to the quite plausible claim that moral reasons should be normative as well as motivating.
