Normativity and the Will collects fourteen important _ papers on
moral psychology and practical reason by R. Jay _ Wallace, one of
the leading philosophers currently working_ in these areas. The
papers explore the interpenetration of normative and _
psychological issues in a series of debates that lie at the heart
of moral philosophy. Part I, Reason, Desire, and the_ Will,
discusses the nexus linking normativity to motivation, including
the relations between desire and reasons, the role of normative
considerations in explanations of action, and_ the normative
commitments involved in willing an end (such_ as the requirement to
adopt the necessary means). Part II,_ Responsibility,
Identification, and Emotion, looks at _ questions about the
rational capacities presupposed by _ accountable agency and the
psychic factors that both inhibit and enable identification with
what we do. It includes an interpretation of the Nietzschean claim
that ressentiment is among the sources of modern moral
consciousness. Part III,_ Morality and Other Normative Domains,
addresses the _ structure of moral reasons and moral motivation,
and the _ relations between moral demands and other normative
domains (including especially the requirements of living a _
meaningful human life). _ _ Wallace's treatments of these topics
are at once _ sophisticated and engaging. Taken together, they
constitute an advertisement for a distinctive way of pursuing
issues in moral psychology and the theory of practical reason. The
_ book articulates and defends a unified framework for _ thinking
about those issues, while offering sustained _ critical discussions
of other influential approaches (by _ philosophers such as
Korsgaard, McDowell, Nietzsche, Raz, Scanlon, and Williams). It
should be of interest to every _ serious student of moral
philosophy. _
