Full-Information Theories of Individual Good (original) (raw)

This paper explores full-information theories of individual good, specifically critiques of theories proposed by Peter Railton and Richard Brandt. It asserts that while these theories have intuitive appeal and seem to accommodate strong motivational and epistemological intuitions, they ultimately fail to adequately represent the complexity of rational desire and moral action. The author argues that no single theory can reconcile these competing intuitions and advocates for a re-examination of how individual good is conceptualized.
