Abstract
Broome thinks Paul Boghossian's expression taking something to be a reason takes Boghossian further than he would want to go. It implies that normative thoughts are necessary for reasoning. It is also further than he should go. You cannot take something to be a reason unless you know what it is for something to be a reason. Yet that piece of normative knowledge is not required simply for you to be able to follow a rule. In particular, it is not required if you are to be able to do reasoning.
