"The last fifty years or more of ethical theory have been preoccupied by a turn to
reasons. The vocabulary of reasons has become a common currency not only in ethics,
but in epistemology, action theory, and many related areas. It is now common, for
example, to see central theses such as evidentialism in epistemology and egalitarianism
in political philosophy formulated in terms of reasons. And some have even claimed
that the vocabulary of reasons is so useful precisely because reasons have analytical
and explanatory priority over other normative concepts - that reasons in that sense
come first. Reasons First systematically explores both the benefits and burdens of
the hypothesis that reasons do indeed come first in normative theory, against the
conjecture that theorizing in both ethics and epistemology can only be hampered by
neglect of the other. Bringing two decades of work on reasons in both ethics and epistemology
to bear, Mark Schroeder argues that some of the most important challenges to the idea
that reasons could come first are themselves the source of some of the most obstinate
puzzles in epistemology - about how perceptual experience could provide evidence about
the world, and about what can make evidence sufficient to justify belief. And he shows
that along with moral worth, one of the very best cases for the fundamental explanatory
power of reasons in normative theory actually comes from knowledge"
