moral sentimentalism  

Definición

  • Moral sentimentalism is the view that human sentiments—feelings, emotions, or other affective states—are fundamental to an account of moral evaluation, awareness, and motivation. According to sentimentalists, objects of moral evaluation—actions, motives, and character—are morally right or wrong (or virtuous or vicious) depending on whether we feel approval or disapproval toward them.
