Abstract: In a paper entitled "Ought and Motivation" W. D. Falk analyzed the nature of reasons that justify action, reasons that explain action, and the relation of these two sorts of reasons to each other and to the notions of want, desire, or motivation. In the process of doing this, he distinguished between two opposing positions on the proper analysis of these concepts and their relation to one another. He labelled these positions "Internalism" and "Externalism," and his paper amounts to a defense of the former.;My dissertation is chiefly concerned to more fully examine both the nature of these positions and the issues that are involved with them, and to provide arguments in favor of Internalism.
