This book presents a new account of normative practical reasons and
the way in which they contribute to the rationality of action.
Rather than simply 'counting in favour of' actions, normative
reasons play two logically distinct roles: requiring action and
justifying action. The distinction between these two roles explains
why some reasons do not seem relevant to the rational status of an
action unless the agent cares about them, while other reasons
retain all their force regardless of the agent's attitude. It also
explains why the class of rationally permissible action is wide
enough to contain not only all morally required action, but also
much selfish and immoral action. The book will appeal to a range of
readers interested in practical reason in particular, and moral
theory more generally.
