ABSTRACT
This chapter argues for the view that all normative reasons are provided by facts about the objects of our desires and not by the fact that we desire that object. Parfit’s Objectivism about reasons is contrasted with Subjectivism, according to which all normative reasons are provided by facts about the subject of a desire, namely the fact that the subject desires something. Parfit gives what he considers a “decisive” argument against Subjectivism about reasons.
