I suggested in Chapter i that we should take internalism as a specification of a necessary condition for anything to count as a good reason, not as a claim about the grounds for reasons. Any reason we have must be appropriately related to desires (or perhaps, more generally, motivations) that we would acquire, or retain, under condition C. Williams is right, it seems to me, to claim that the actual desires or motivations of the agent are not in themselves relevant here. A feature may be appropriately related to an actual desire, but it is not thereby fitted to stand as a good reason for the agent unless that desire would survive the process of re-education and sound reasoning.
Moore. In his Principia Ethica (1903) he denned the right as that which is most productive of the good; in his later Ethics (1912) he seems to have taken the weaker view that the only way an action can get to be right is by being productive of the most good. Either way, these suggestions have a distinctively consequentialist air, and deontologists are likely to find them disputable. e. on the lower-level features that also function as the 30 Reasons and Desires ground for value, rather than indirectly via an intermediate level of value.
I hesitate to give an example of this, but the sort of one that springs to mind is some shameful act that would immediately bring my career and marriage to an end, but which I still have some desire to do. All agree that I have no reason to do this act, and every reason not to do it. In such a case, it seems perverse to claim that my desire to 0 does add to the stock of reasons for ip-ing just because ty-mg subserves 0-ing, and so gives me good reason to do something because it subserves doing something that there is every reason not to do.
