Concept in Definition ABC

It is known as Ethical Emotivism To that current goal ethics (part of ethics that deals with the analysis of languagemoral) which holds that value judgments come from emotions individual and then the end will be persuade to others so that they feel how we feel, and even try to get those that people who think totally differently value situations in the same way as we do.

Emotivism does not make use of rational means to demonstrate the validity of its proposal, even more, it dispenses absolutely of her, using only the emotions and her spontaneity as means to be able to know the truth moral.

Its main objectives are, on the one hand, to be the means to be able to influence the conduct of people, through verbal actions, emotions, pleas, feelings, among other alternatives and on the other hand, moral language is used to express one's own attitude to situations or things and therefore must be distinguished from subjectivism simple.

For example, at the behest of this philosophical system, statements such as envy is very bad will not tell us anything about the nature itself of the act of envy, but actually expresses the feeling that it, that is, envy, provokes.

Among the most faithful exponents of the Emotivist current are philosophers David Hume and Ludwig Josef Johann Wittgenstein.

HumeFor his part, he considered that it was absolutely impossible to base moral options on reason; neither in the facts nor in the relations of ideas is there anything that can be considered good or bad, because the moral meaning that they will have will be given in the context of our purposes and tastes previous. Moral judgment, according to Hume, will be based on the feeling of approval or disapproval that we experience under different circumstances.

In the meantime, WittgensteinHe considered that everything in the world is as it is, there is no value and therefore trying to define a value would be going against the limits of language itself. What is linked to ethics will be as soon as it can be shown.
