- W2138833183 abstract "In How We Get Along, 2 Velleman pursues a Kantian strategy. The point of this strategy, he says, is “to show that we can account for the objectivity of morality without positing a normative reality of which judgments of right and wrong can be true (120).” To this end, Velleman tries to explain how the demands of practical reason can have a kind of objectivity even if there is no normative reality of which practical reason judgments can be true. The key is to recognize that while all reasons for action rest on motives that are present in those for whom they are reasons, some rest only on a motive that is necessarily shared by all who are subject to reasons. In this paper I argue that Velleman’s theory of reasons, even if it is true, fails to support the hypothesis that there is some one motive that is necessarily shared by all those who are subject to reasons for action. To make good on his Kantian strategy, Velleman must establish this hypothesis in some other way. I proceed by granting Velleman his theory of reasons. In that theory, action constitutively aims at behaving in a way that makes sense, and reasons for action are indicators of what would make for successful action. In granting this for the sake of argument I depart from other critical strategies, for instance that of Kieran Setiya, who thinks Velleman has misidentified the constitutive aim of action, and therefore rejects Velleman’s theory of reasons. 3 Setiya does not question whether Velleman’s theory of reasons, if true, would support his Kantian strategy, whereas questioning that is precisely my business here. My concern is also not that of David Enoch, who worries that even if Velleman is right about the constitutive aim of action, he can’t explain why we should do actions rather than, say, shmactions, which are like actions except for lacking the aim that makes something an action. 4 Like Setiya, Enoch is questioning Velleman’s account of reasons for action, whereas again I am just questioning whether that account, if true, would support the Kantian strategy. To do this I first need to explain Velleman’s Kantian strategy. After that I describe his theory of reasons, and finally I address the relation between the two." @default.
