道德之所以约束我们，是因为我们若不珍视自己的人性就根本无法行动——而动物本身也是目的。

Korsgaard derived normativity from Kant’s reflective agent, who cannot act without some practical identity and so must value humanity itself (The Sources of Normativity, 1996). C. M. Korsgaard, The Sources of Normativity (Tanner Lectures 1992; publ. 1996); Creating the Kingdom of Ends (1996)

批评了
Korsgaard argued against Williams that motivational scepticism about practical reason depends on content scepticism: if pure practical reason exists, it can motivate (‘Skepticism about Practical Reason’, 1986). C. M. Korsgaard, “Skepticism about Practical Reason”, Journal of Philosophy 83 (1986), 5–25; B. Williams, “Internal and External Reasons” (1980); Williams’s response in Korsgaard, The Sources of Normativity (1996)

作品

1996规范性的来源
我为什么必须有道德？因为对我的实践认同的反思性认可，使我承诺去珍视人性。
2009自我构成
行动本身就是使自己成为一个统一的行动者——而这已经使人受道德的约束。

立场

Korsgaard asks where the authority of moral obligation comes from. Her answer, developed from Kant, is that it comes from ourselves: as reflective beings we cannot act without taking some description of ourselves – a parent, a friend, a citizen – as giving us reasons; this “practical identity” is the source of normativity. But every particular identity presupposes a more basic one: valuing our own humanity, our capacity to set ends. If we value that in ourselves we must value it in others, and so morality follows. “Self-Constitution” argues that action has a constitutive standard: to act at all is to unify oneself as an agent.
