| Abstract: | Cases involving amoralists who no longer care about the institution of morality, together with cases of depression, listlessness,
and exhaustion, have posed trouble in recent years for standard formulations of motivational internalism. In response, though,
internalists have been willing to adopt narrower versions of the thesis which restrict it just to the motivational lives of
those agents who are said to be in some way normal, practically rational, or virtuous. My goal in this paper is to offer a
new set of counterexamples to motivational internalism, examples which are effective both against traditional formulations
of the thesis as well as against many of these more recent restricted proposals.
