“…It is an ongoing debate in philosophy how motivation and value are related. For instance, so-called motivational internalists claim that there is an intrinsic and necessary connection between motivation and moral judgment (Björnsson, 2015). So, when people value justice and judge that an action is just, they are necessarily motivated to act accordingly.…”

Interdisciplinary Value Theory

Previous chapters considered value theories of psychology, sociology, anthropology, and philosophy. These disciplines can benefit and learn from one another, and closer interaction between disciplines will lead to better value theory. To facilitate an interdisciplinary understanding of value, this chapter will highlight the overlap between the different disciplines and what they can learn from one another. Each section of this chapter compares two disciplines and highlights overlaps, similarities, and differences. The hope is that this constructive comparison will build a bridge between disciplines, which helps to advance the theory development within the disciplines and brings theoretical blind spots into focus. Bringing disciplines together is the first step towards crossing disciplinary boundaries, resolving conceptual differences, and increasing interdisciplinary communication.

“…as simply involving moral 'ought' judgments. 51 Some are explicitly axiological, where the judgment is that an action is morally good. 52 As mentioned earlier, others are more encompassing yet, where motivation is necessarily connected to any judgment that involves a 'moral opinion' 53 or any moral judgment, period.…”

This article puts pressure on moral motivational internalism and rejects normative motivational internalism by arguing that we should be aesthetic motivational externalists. Parallels between aesthetic and moral normativity give us new reason to doubt moral internalism. I address possible disanalogies, arguing that either they fail, or they succeed, but aren't strong enough to underwrite a motivational difference between the domains. Furthermore, aesthetic externalism entails normative externalism, providing further presumptive evidence against moral internalism. I also make the case that, regardless of these particular conclusions, examining different normative domains alongside each other is a fruitful way to move debates forward.

“…Moral obligations are those obligations that come with a strong "ought", that is, with a feeling of duty that strongly motivates us to act (Björnsson et al, 2014;Rosati, 2016;Roskies, 2003;Tomasello, 2019). This is what Darwall and Kant capture either with the fact of reason or with the awareness of what the moral community could legitimately hold one accountable for not doing.…”
