Note to moderator: Read the answerline carefully. Note to players: Description acceptable. In a paper titled for this question, F. H. Bradley claimed that it reduces to asking for the “reason of my knowing and willing my own existence.” T. M. Scanlon described the problem of providing a non-trivial, non-external answer to this question as one philosopher’s “dilemma.” John Cook Wilson’s denial of a “Theory of Knowledge” influenced H. A. Prichard’s argument that two attempts to answer this question are malformed such that one discipline (*) “Rests on A Mistake.” Motivational internalists and externalists disagree over whether this question is a tautology. In Book II of Republic, Glaucon argues that this question has no good answer because someone wearing Gyges’ ring would not care about it. For 10 points, describe this question that asks why you should do actions like helping others. ■END■
