    A different view would invoke the neo-Humean view that no belief (properly so called) entails or necessitates motivation; beliefs motivate only when combined with an appropriately related desire. On this view, if moral judgments entail motivation, then moral judgments are not (ordinary) beliefs, properly so-called. They must instead be at least partly constituted by conative states that do necessarily motivate. In this way, MJI can lead to non-cognitive expressivism.
