Is Fittingness Prior to Reasons?:On the Debate Between"Fittingness-First"and"Reason-First"Theories on Normativity
In the field of metaethics,philosophers have engaged in numerous discussions regarding what constitutes a normative concept with priority.Among them,"reason-first theory"and"fittingness-first theory"are two promising approa-ches.Some individuals attempt to argue for the acceptance of fittingness-first theory through the scenario of the"devil's ad-vocate".However,upon conducting a thorough analysis of the concept of reason,we will find that the devil's advocate argu-ment fails to defeat reason-first theory.Fittingness-first theory has achieved success in certain aspects,but it may not be able to perfectly replace reason-first theory as claimed by its proponents.
