| Sumario: | In this article, I articulate and explore a novel constructivist approach to metanormativity that is inspired by David Hume's metaesthetics. This view, which I call perfectionist Humean constructivism, rejects the claim that practical reasons are constructed by each individual's valuing attitudes, holding instead that they are constructed (in part) by humanity's shared evaluative nature. I hold that this approach can plausibly respond to a persistent worry for extant versions of Humean constructivism without embracing the commitments of either a Kantian constructivism or a metaphysically robust form of metanormative realism. |
