Motivational internalism analytics Only a contractarian system that derives principles of mutual restraint from individuals’ self-interest account for this fact because contractarian principles are necessarily in the interest of all parties involved because they wouldn’t constrain their action against their will.

Moral principles are introduced as the objects of full voluntary ex ante agreement among rational AND for mutual constraint, and so for a moral dimension in their affairs.
