What is the connection between reasons and motives? According to Reasons Internalism there is a non-trivial conceptual connection between normative reasons and the possibility of rationally accessing relevant motivation. Reasons Internalism is attractive insofar as it captures the thought that reasons are for reasoning with and repulsive insofar as it fails to generate sufficient critical distance between reasons and motives. Rather than directly adjudicate this dispute, I extract from it two generally accepted desiderata on theories of normative reasons and argue that a new theory can satisfy both. The new theory locates part of the meaning of normative reason statements in their role in normative discussion. It generates a view of the connection between reasons and motives that is distinct from Reasons Internalism, yet distinctively in its spirit.

理由内在主义与规范理由的作用

原因和动机之间有什么联系？根据内在原因，在规范原因和理性获取相关动机的可能性之间存在着非平凡的概念联系。原因 内在主义是有吸引力的，因为它捕捉到原因是用于推理的思想，而在它未能在原因和动机之间产生足够的批判距离时，它是令人厌恶的。我没有直接裁决这一争议，而是从中提取了两个普遍接受的关于规范理由理论的需求，并认为新理论可以同时满足两者。新理论将规范性理由陈述的部分含义定位于规范性讨论中的作用。它产生了一种与理性内在主义不同的关于原因和动机之间联系的观点，
