Brink has two theses, the practicality of moral judgments (a) is not inconsistent with moral realism, and (b) counts in favor of moral realism.
Brink thinks the real issue concerns the support for (a), namely, (d) that you are under moral obligations only if you have reason to perform them, and (e) you have reason to perform only actions you have a desire to perform.
Now Brink objects to (e) by saying "A fact will not provide an agent with a good or justifying reason for action by contributing to the statifaction of her desires if those desires reflect value judgments that would not survive the process of reflective equillibrium".
