D. Wong. ""Constructing Normative Objectivity in Ethics"." Paper delivered at conference on objectivism, subjectivism and relativism in ethics, at Bowling Green University, September 2006 Social Philosophy and Policy 25:1 (January, January, 2008): 237-266.
Abstract:
I defend a naturalistic explanation of moral reasons that does not make them merely hypothetical imperatives but rather capable of entering into the constitution of selfhood and agency. Moral reasons play a crucial role in making cooperation possible by shaping and reinforcing the diverse and potentially conflicting array of human motivations so that they are better suited for cooperative life.
