Abstract
Abstract This chapter defends the Non-Value-Based Relationships View of reasons of intimacy against both the Individuals View and the Value-Based Relationships View. The Non-Value-Based Relationships View grounds those reasons directly on our special relationships, while the Individuals View bases them on the person with whom we are intimate, and the Value-Based Relationships View grounds them on the value of the relationships. It is argued that only the Non-Value-Based Relationships View offers an account that adequately captures the agent-relativity of reasons of intimacy. It is also shown that recent attempts on the part of advocates of the Individuals View to appeal to relationships as intensifying or modifying already existing reasons are not successful.
