Eastern Standard Time, judithevans001@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx writes: thank you for the reference and the link, Robert ---- In Kantian parlance, it's all about whether motives are pure or not. I am reminded of Judith Baker's excellent essay in "Philosophical Grounds of Rationality: Intentions, Categories, Ends". A collaborator with H. P. Grice, Baker seems to be suggesting that one's motives (even the purer, altruistic ones) are still, 'impure' and 'cash out', as she puts it, in _desire_ (or 'interest'), rather than 'obligation' (to use Pritchard's terminology) One is also reminded of J. O. Urmson's essay, "Saints and sinners", and the meta-ethical idea of supererogation.
