 Bertrand Russell Quotes 366 |
According to this theory, there are a pair of opposite emotions which may be called “moral approval” and “moral disapproval” respectively; when a man feels the former towards a contemplated act, he will be right if he performs it, and when the latter he will be wrong. Or we may take the more emphatic view that an inner voice says “do this” or “do not do that”, whenever the agent chooses to listen for it. ...
There is no important difference between the two forms of the theory, which take “approval” as an emotion, or as an inner voice.
