Value and Idiosyncratic Fitting Attitudes
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Norm-attitude accounts of value say that for something to be valuable is for there to be norms that support valuing that thing. For example, according to fitting-attitude accounts, something is of value if it is fitting to value, and according to buck-passing accounts, something is of value if the reasons support valuing it. Norm-attitude accounts face the partiality problem: in cases of partiality, what it is fitting to value, and what the reasons support valuing, may not line up with what’s valuable. Buck-passers have a solution to this problem and may claim that this gives them an advantage over fitting-attitude accounts. This chapter shows how fitting-attitudes accounts can offer a broadly analogous, and equally attractive, solution to the problem.

Abstract
Norm-attitude accounts of value say that for something to be valuable is for there to be norms that support valuing that thing.
For example, according to fitting-attitude accounts, something is of value if it is fitting to value, and according to buck-passing accounts, something is of value if the reasons support valuing it.
Norm-attitude accounts face the partiality problem: in cases of partiality, what it is fitting to value, and what the reasons support valuing, may not line up with what’s valuable.
Buck-passers have a solution to this problem and may claim that this gives them an advantage over fitting-attitude accounts.
This chapter shows how fitting-attitudes accounts can offer a broadly analogous, and equally attractive, solution to the problem.
