In recent years there has been a tremendous resurgence of interest
in ethical sentimentalism, a moral theory first articulated during
the Scottish Enlightenment. Ethical Sentimentalism promises a
conception of morality that is grounded in a realistic account of
human psychology, which, correspondingly, acknowledges the central
place of emotion in our moral lives. However, this promise has
encountered its share of philosophical difficulties. Chief among
them is the question of how to square the limited scope of human
motivation and psychological mechanism - so easily influenced by
personal, social, and cultural circumstance - with the seeming
universal scope and objective nature of moral judgment. The essays
in this volume provide a comprehensive evaluation of the
sentimentalist project with a particular eye to this difficulty.
Each essay offers critical clarification, innovative answers to
central challenges, and new directions for ethical sentimentalism
in general.
