    This document provides an overview of Module 11 which focuses on feelings and reason in decision making. It discusses how emotion and reason are intertwined when making judgments or choices. Two feeling-based theories of ethics, Ethical Subjectivism and Emotivism, are compared. Ethical Subjectivism holds that morality is subjective and based on individual preferences rather than objective facts. Emotivism views ethical statements as expressions of attitude rather than assertions of fact. The document explores different types of subjectivism and relativism in ethics.

    MODULE 11

    FEELINGS AND
    REASON
    2
    Learning Objectives:
    At the end of the topic, students are expected to:

    Appraise and analyze their feelings in personal


    experiences
    Compare reasonable and emotional responses.
    Compare and contrast Ethical Subjectivism and
    Emotivism
    Apply the principles of Ethical Subjectivism and
    Emotivism

    Feeling and Moral
    Decision-Making

    4
    According to Ells (2014), emotion is a
    response to stimuli based on past
    experiences which is made instinctively.

    Reason is a form of personal


    justification which changes from person to
    person based on their own ethical and
    moral code, as well as prior experience.
    5
    • Researchers (and some philosophers)
    now see emotion and reason as tightly
    intertwined. Emotion and reason are
    jointly at work when we judge the
    conduct of others or make choices
    ourselves.
    • Some hold that reason and emotion are
    not really opposite.
    • Reason when removed from emotion,
    allows a person to make conscious
    decisions based on fact, with no
    references to personal involvement.
    6
    Feeling-based Theories
    in Ethics
     Ethical Subjectivism
     Emotivism

    7
    Ethical Subjectivism
    This theory basically utter runs
    contrary to the principle that there is
    objectivity in morality. Fundamentally a
    meta-ethically theory, it is not about what
    things are good and what are things are
    bad. It does not tell how we should live or
    what moral norms we should practice.
    Instead, it is a theory about the nature or
    moral judgments (De Guzman et al. 2017).

    8
    Simple Subjectivism

    The view (largely as


    described above) that
    ethical statements
    reflect sentiments,
    personal preferences
    and feelings rather than
    objective facts.
    Individualist
    Subjectivism

    The view (originally put


    forward by Protagoras) that
    there are as many distinct
    scales of good and evil as
    there are individuals in the
    world. It is effectively a form
    of Egoism, which maintains
    that every human being
    ought to pursue what is in
    his or her self-interest
    exclusively.
    Moral Relativism (or
    Ethical Relativism)

    The view that for a


    thing to be morally right is
    for it to be approved of
    by society, leading to the
    conclusion that different
    things are right for people
    in different societies and
    different periods in
    history.
    Ideal Observer Theory

    The view that what


    is right is determined by
    the attitudes that a
    hypothetical ideal
    observer (a being who
    is perfectly rational,
    imaginative and
    informed) would have.
