ABSTRACT
The dispositional structure of a causal approach to acting for a normative reason has been introduced by examining the basing relation and its dispositional analysis. Subsequently, the dispositional structure has been extended to normative force and normative reasons understood as objective worldly facts. This idea provides the basis for the Normative Competence Account of acting for a normative reason, according to which the agent manifests a normative competence consisting in a tripartite structure that includes epistemic competence, volitional competence, and motivational competence. It may be manifested with or without the use of normative concepts and in ways that involve enkrasia as well as in ways that involve akrasia.
