The Sources Of Normativity by Christine M. Korsgaard
The Tanner Lectures on Human Values
The book explores the foundations of moral philosophy by examining the sources from which moral obligations and norms derive their authority. It delves into various philosophical traditions, including Kantian ethics, utilitarianism, and constructivism, to understand how individuals come to recognize and commit to moral duties. The work argues for a constructivist approach, suggesting that normativity arises from the reflective endorsement of principles that we, as rational agents, impose upon ourselves. Through this lens, it seeks to reconcile the subjective nature of moral reasoning with the objective demands of ethical life.
