M. Scanlon noted that\, despite the widespread attention to Rawls’ A Theory of Justice\, the appeal of contractualism as a moral theory had been under-appreciated. It seems to me that\, nearly thirty years later\, despite the widespread attention to Scanlon’s work\, this appeal is still largely under-appreciated. In this paper\, I try to present Scanlon’s appealing answer to what he once called “the question of motivation” and the relation of this answer to the more metaethical “question of subject matter.” I then defend Scanlon’s view against various\, standard objections\, which\, I claim\, typically misunderstand it. I close by considering what it would take to wed Scanlon’s attractive answer to the question of motivation to another\, non-contractualist\, theory. I conclude that\, even if the marriage could be arranged\, a good part of the appeal of contractualism would inevitably be lost. In particular\, the marriage would sacrifice the central place in Scanlon’s theory for what might be called liberty of conscience.\nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 URL:/philevents/event/moral-philosophy-reading-group-160/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe G03 CATEGORIES:Reading Group END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241010T143000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241010T153000 DTSTAMP:20260613T103100 CREATED:20240912T213849Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241002T220809Z UID:10002153-1728570600-1728574200@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Moral Philosophy Reading Group DESCRIPTION: Location: Edgecliffe G03 URL:/philevents/event/moral-philosophy-reading-group-156/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe G03 CATEGORIES:Reading Group END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241010T143000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241010T153000 DTSTAMP:20260613T103100 CREATED:20241003T220900Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241106T123955Z UID:10002190-1728570600-1728574200@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Moral Philosophy Reading Group DESCRIPTION: Location: Edgecliffe G03 URL:/philevents/event/moral-philosophy-reading-group-162/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe G03 CATEGORIES:Reading Group END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241017T143000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241017T153000 DTSTAMP:20260613T103100 CREATED:20240917T213845Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241002T220809Z UID:10002164-1729175400-1729179000@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Moral Philosophy Reading Group DESCRIPTION: Location: Edgecliffe G03 URL:/philevents/event/moral-philosophy-reading-group-157/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe G03 CATEGORIES:Reading Group END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241024T143000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241024T153000 DTSTAMP:20260613T103100 CREATED:20240924T220852Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241020T122308Z UID:10002176-1729780200-1729783800@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Moral Philosophy Reading Group DESCRIPTION: Location: Edgecliffe G03 URL:/philevents/event/moral-philosophy-reading-group-159/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe G03 CATEGORIES:Reading Group END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241031T143000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241031T153000 DTSTAMP:20260613T103100 CREATED:20241001T220828Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241026T123836Z UID:10002188-1730385000-1730388600@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Moral Philosophy Reading Group DESCRIPTION: Location: Edgecliffe G03 URL:/philevents/event/moral-philosophy-reading-group-161/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe G03 CATEGORIES:Reading Group END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241031T143000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241031T153000 DTSTAMP:20260613T103100 CREATED:20241027T123908Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241031T123943Z UID:10002230-1730385000-1730388600@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Moral Philosophy Reading Group DESCRIPTION:The brand-new PhiCliSci reading group will discuss Reto Knutti’s article ‘Climate Model Confirmation: From Philosophy to Predicting Climate in the Real World’\, available here.
