[edit] Clean-up and expansion
Hi, all. I created this article because it didn't exist! It still can use some clean-up and expansion, though. Help if you can! -- Jaymay 21:10, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Reasons and emotions
I added a section on this which distinguishes two types of moral rationalism. The two following sections seem to be primarily assuming that only the first exists, and need editing in light of this distinction.--ScottForschler (talk) 18:38, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Seeing no objection to the contrary, I deleted the sections on moral externalism and internalism, which seem irrelevant and distracting. Mainstream rationalists derive ethics from practical reason, not theoretical reason, and hence do not necessarily have any problems with explaining how moral judgments can be motivating. I invite anyone who wants to describe moral rationalists who see moral facts as purely theoretical rather than practical to cite some such authors and describe their views, but this simply does not apply to Kant, Hare, Gewirth, Korsgaard, Nagel, etc.--ScottForschler (talk) 02:50, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
