The Emotional Construction of Morals Prinz Jesse
Jesse Prinz argues that recent work in philosophy, neuroscience, and anthropology supports two radical hypotheses about the nature of morality: moral values are based on emotional responses, and these emotional responses are inculcated by culture, not hard-wired through natural selection.In the first half of the book, Jesse Prinz defends the hypothesis that morality has an emotional foundation. Prinz argues that these emotions do not track objective features of reality; rather, the rightness and wrongness of an act consists in the fact that people are disposed to have certain emotions towards it. Evidence from brain imaging, social psychology, and psychopathology suggest that, when we judge something to be right or wrong, we are merely expressing our emotions.
Moral facts depend on emotional responses, and In the second half of the book, he turns to a defense of moral relativism.
