This article looks at a version of the “too-few-reasons” problem for reasons internalism stemming from the existence of cases of clinical depression. People with clinical depression lack motivation to do things like go to work or seek treatment for their depression. Internalism appears committed to saying that such people lack reasons to do these things since internalism makes having reasons depend on having motivations. But, intuitively, depressed people do have reasons to do them. This article considers a number of possible solutions to this problem, such as that depressed people have actual or ideal desires which explain their reasons, and argues that these solutions do not succeed.

内在主义和抑郁问题的原因

本文着眼于“原因太少”问题的一个版本，其原因源于临床抑郁症病例的存在。患有临床抑郁症的人缺乏动力去工作或为抑郁症寻求治疗。内在主义似乎致力于说这些人缺乏做这些事情的理由，因为内在主义使得有理由取决于有动机。但是，直觉上，抑郁的人确实有理由这样做。本文考虑了该问题的许多可能的解决方案，例如抑郁症患者有实际或理想的愿望来解释他们的原因，并认为这些解决方案不会成功。
