ABSTRACT
Reasons for an act (a possibility) derive from what will be, if the act is per-
formed, good-making features of an action (a reality). We give reasons by
stating facts. Particularists hold either (very strongly) that any fact that is a
reason to u in one situation would cease to be a reason to u – or even become a reason not to u – in some other situation, or (rather weakly) that this is not excluded by the very concept of a reason, or (most likely) some-
thing betwixt and between.1
