The motivation problem is normally thought of as a problem about explaining the apparent connection between moral judgment and motivation. This problem has structured a great deal of thinking in contemporary metaethics and moral psychology. But it has eventuated in seemingly intractable disputes about, for example, the possibility of genuine amoralism. I critique some recent attempts to make progress on these disputes. And I try to suggest a new way forward, which draws insights from thinking about the irrationality of akrasia. One central lesson is that discussions of the motivation problem should move away from the focus on moral judgment specifically. A more tentative and controversial conclusion is that the problem can de dissolved, as the connection between judgment and motivation requires no special explanation.
