Logical reasons

Pascal Engel (1)

1 IJN - Institut Jean-Nicod

I argue in this paper that there is a structural analogy between the problem of moral reasons (Smith 1994) in metaethics and the problem of logical reasons in the philosophy of logic: how can logical reasons move us to infer? I review various answers to this problem and argue that any solution to it must involve a psychology story about inference.
