TY - BOOK AU - Ruiz,Andrés Soria TI - Sympathy for Caligula? A new defense of Williams’ internalism about reasons PY - 2023///. N1 - 65 N2 - The purpose of this paper is to argue in defense of Bernard Williams’s internalism about practical reason. My intention is to motivate the view in a slightly different way from what has been accustomed in the literature. Thought experiments involving ideally coherent eccentrics are usually brought into this debate as a major point against internalism. I contest that point and argue that our intuitions regarding such characters in fact support an internalist understanding of the notion of reasons for action. To do this, I argue for a supplementation of Williams’s view with a speaker-oriented internalist view about the meaning of external reasons ascriptions UR - https://shs.cairn.info/journal-revue-internationale-de-philosophie-2023-2-page-93?lang=en&redirect-ssocas=7080 ER -
