Belief, Desire and Moral Motivation-presented by Dr. Parimal Patil

It is unfortunate that metaethics has received relatively little attention by students of Sanskrit philosophy, particularly since ethics itself was not considered a proper part of philosophy by Sanskrit philosophers.

This paper focuses on the New Epistemologist Gaṅgeśa’s theory of motivation to the means, his understanding of the sources of normativity, and his broadly Humean account of moral motivation.
