 Roskies (2003) attempts to draw conclusions about a particular kind of internalism about moral motivation by focusing on empirical evidence drawn from patients with damage to the ventromedial (VM) cortex. More precisely, she argues against the view that moral belief entails moral motivation, a view she calls “motive-internalism”, which is the view called “strong internalism” in section 3.2 As she describes it, motive-internalism is the view that “motivation is intrinsic to, or a necessary component of moral belief or judgment” (52). The person who sincerely believes that she ought to F is thereby motivated, to some degree, to F. The externalist holds, in contrast, that moral belief does not entail moral motivation; a person can believe that she ought to F, while lacking any motivation to F. Roskies explains that the internalist claim involves necessity, intrinsicness, and specificity. According to the motive-internalist, it is a necessary truth that motivation accompanies moral belief or judgment, and so it is true “of any agent capable of moral beliefs” (52). The intrinsicness of motive-internalism consists in the idea that the connection between moral belief or judgment and motivation holds because of the content of the moral belief, rather than because of something unrelated to the content of that belief. As for specificity, motive-internalism sees moral beliefs as different from other kinds of beliefs, which are not intrinsically motivating (52).
