Long claimed to be the dominant conception of practical reason, the
Humean theory that reasons for action are instrumental, or
explained by desires, is the basis for a range of worries about the
objective prescriptivity of morality. As a result, it has come
under intense attack in recent decades. A wide variety of arguments
have been advanced which purport to show that it is false, or
surprisingly, even that it is incoherent. Slaves of the Passions
aims to set the record straight, by advancing a version of the
Humean theory of reasons which withstands this sophisticated array
of objections.
Mark Schroeder defends a radical new view which, if correct, means
that the commitments of the Humean theory have been widely
misunderstood. Along the way, he raises and addresses questions
about the fundamental structure of reasons, the nature of normative
explanations, the aims of and challenges facing reductive views in
metaethics, the weight of reasons, the nature of desire, moral
epistemology, and most importantly, the relationship between
agent-relational and agent-neutral reasons for action.
