 A different ground for concern about expressionism has to do with the distinction between normative judgment and intention. Expressivism makes sense of the fact that practical reason is practical in its issue by collapsing this distinction altogether. Normative reflection can bring about adjustments in our intentions because it just is a set of operations on our intentions (or intention-like practical states). Compliance with what we ordinarily think of as a rational requirement, to bring our intentions into alignment with our normative beliefs, is thus secured through a kind of conceptual fiat. The result is that there is no room, on this position, for the paradigmatic form of irrationality in practice represented by akrasia, whereby agents fail to do what they themselves believe they ought to do.
