ABSTRACT
A Subject of controversy which has been very prominent in writings on Moral Philosophy is the question whether moral judgments, or morality in general, should be considered a matter of reason or a matter of feeling. In one form or another, this dispute has appeared in most modern ethical investigation, and it has been at times declared to be the great dividing line between different schools of moral theory. Further, one form of the opposing view argues that moral judgments are simply the result of certain feelings which one has towards the object about which one judges, a specific emotion which one may call the emotion of approval or disapproval, or some other feeling. The feeling may be aroused by some association which that which arouses it has for us, of which one may not be clearly conscious. Or it may be, and very frequently is, aroused in us by suggestion from others.
