Work In Progress
A Simple Solution to the Preface Paradox
Constitutivism Gone Social
Reasons, Guidance, and Advice
- A very short abstract: We don't need to give up the requirement of conjunctive closure in the face of the preface paradox, once we recognize that the requirement applies only to (rationally) activated beliefs. (email me for a draft)
Constitutivism Gone Social
- A very short abstract: Constitutivism about practical reason attempts to ground moral norms (or their normative authority) in what is constitutive of individual agency. This is mistaken. Constitutivists can and should ground morality in what is constitutive of our practice of asking for and giving reasons. (I don't yet have a shareable draft of this paper)
Reasons, Guidance, and Advice
- A very short abstract: According to a popular constraint on reasons, reasons must be able to guide us, in the sense that a consideration C is a reason for you to A only if it is possible for you to A for the reason that C. This is false. But there is a plausible constraint on reasons, which I call the advisability constraint. (I don't yet have a shareable draft of this paper)
