    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Internalists can specify grounding desires via formal coherence relations among existing desires without normative facts.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The claim assumes internalism must specify grounds non-normatively, but internalists can embed normativity within subjective preference structures themselves.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Even if internalism faces specification challenges, this doesn't prove the necessary/sufficient distinction fails to defuse counterexamples.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    Reason against

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The necessary/sufficient distinction only resolves counterexamples if we can identify *which* internal desires actually generate normative force.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Without specifying desire-selection criteria internally, internalism collapses into the counterexamples it aims to avoid.
