A public lecture with Akeel Bilgrami and Laurent Jaffro.
The analogy between colors and values, drawn by Hume in a subjectivist manner, has been applied in the opposite direction by moral realists who claim that ‘desirability’ is a quality to which agents are sensible under ideal conditions. The paper sets out objections to Michael Smith’s view that moral reasons are response-dependent and that they constitute the kind of reasons which would motivate ideal agents.
