In The Value Gap, Toni Ronnow-Rasmussen addresses the distinction
between what is finally good and what is finally good-for, two
value notions that are central to ethics and practical
deliberation. The first part of the book argues against views that
claim that one of these notions is either faulty, or at best
conceptually dependent on the other notion. Whereas these two views
disagree on whether it is good or good-for that is the flawed or
dependent concept, it is argued, as against both approaches, that
goodness and goodness-for are independent value notions that cannot
be fully understood in terms of one another. The second part
provides an analysis of good and good-for in terms of a
fitting-attitude analysis. By elaborating a more nuanced
understanding of the key elements of this analysis-reasons and
pro-attitudes-Ronnow-Rasmussen challenges the widespread idea that
there are no genuine practical and moral dilemmas. The result is
that the gap between favouring for a reason what is good and
favouring for a reason what is good for someone appears
insurmountable.
