According to the account of practical reasons presented in Chapter 4, those reasons are ultimately grounded in the soundness of certain episodes of practical reasoning. This chapter addresses what it is for an episode of practical reasoning to be correct, which is a necessary condition for their soundness. It first shows that, at least when it is applied to reasoning, the notion of correctness need not itself be understood in terms of reasons, which would render the constructivist’s overall view circular. Then, it presents an account that characterizes correct reasoning as reasoning in compliance with the constitutive rules of that activity. It also discusses how those rules can be determined, and what the constructivist should say about their ontological status.

The aim of this book was to explore the prospects of a constructivist account of practical reasons by elaborating the basic idea of constructivism into a fully fledged account of practical reasons and making its theoretical commitments explicit, thereby paving the way for a better-founded assessment of the merits of such an account. The view that has emerged from this can be summarized as follows....
