520    How come we ought to do things? Current metanormative 
       debates often suffer from the fact that authors implicitly
       use adequacy conditions not shared by their opponents. 
       This leads to an unsatisfying dialectical gridlock (Chang)
       : One author accuses her opponents of not being able to 
       account for stuff she judges essential, but the opponents 
       do not think this to be a major flaw. In an attempt to 
       meet the problem of gridlock head-on, the current 
       investigation approaches oughtness differently. I start 
       with the introduction of a grounding framework for 
       thinking about oughtness that allows a lucid presentation 
       of the views on the market. It soon becomes clear that one
       necessary part of any plausible assessment of accounts of 
       oughtness is a discussion of their adequacy conditions. I 
       continue with a detailed evaluation of four different 
       accounts, as presented by Halbig (2007), Schroeder (2007),
       Stemmer (2006), and Scanlon (2014). My main result is that
       desire-based or Humean theories of oughtness are more 
       plausible because desire-independent accounts fail to 
       explain something crucial: the for-me character of 
       oughtness. Based on the insights gathered thus far, I then
       develop a new Humean theory - metaethical conativism - and
       defend it against some historically influential 
       objections.
