Abstract


It is sometimes believed that moral hypocrites –those who say that something should be made without having any disposition to do it– cannot give honest lessons on Ethics. In this paper, I distinguish two forms of normative beliefs and I defend that the claim stated above is false 1) if the concept of belief is the common one and 2) regardless of the conditions of validity of the norms.
