Abstract: The concept of reasons for action is widely used in analytic ethics and metaethics of the last few decades, but this phrase is used in different meanings. In the paper I attempt an analysis of this concept within a fairly broad perspective and I show some sources of problems and ambiguities in its content. I argue that an adequate theory of the reasons for action could shed some light on the debate between utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics. I also argue that our recent knowledge of reasons and forms of practical reasoning could be used to resolve the debate between universalism and particularism, as well as to analyse human actions in particularly difficult situations.
