Motivational Internalism was regarded as a standpoint resulted from emotivism and non-cognitivism, however recently it has developed to rational one and a kind of cognitivism.And the Internalism-Rationalism debate is a result of different difinitions and understandings of Moral Judgments. And many people believe that Kantian Ethics is a typical theory of rational motivational Internalism, but it is different from the motivational internalism in the strict sense whose keyword is moral judgment. However if the concept of Maxim in the Kantian Ethics is understood as a moral judgement in metaethics,we can regard Kantian Ethics as one of rational motivational internalism. And rational motivational internalism is based on a kind of virtue ethics.
