Duygusalcılık

Duygusalcılık, emotivizm, emosyonalizm, emosyonizm, etik tümcelerin önermeleri değil duygusal tutumları ifade ettiğini iddia eden meta-etik bir görüştür.^[1]^[2]^[3] Bu nedenle, halk arasında hurrah/boo teorisi olarak bilinir.^[4] 20. yüzyılda analitik felsefenin ve mantıksal pozitivizmin büyümesinden etkilenen teori, A. J. Ayer tarafından 1936 tarihli Language, Truth and Logic adlı kitabında ^[5] canlı bir şekilde ifade edildi, fakat gelişimini daha çok Charles Stevenson'a borçludur.^[6]

Duygusalcılık, bilişselcilik dışının veya dışavurumculuğun bir biçimi olarak düşünülebilir. Diğer bilişsel olmayan biçimlere (yarı gerçekçilik ^[7]^[8] ve evrensel kuralcılık gibi) ve tüm bilişselcilik biçimlerine (hem ahlaki gerçekçilik hem de etik öznelcilik dahil) karşı durur.

1950'lerde, R. M. Hare'in tümel kuralcılığında duygusalcılık değiştirilmiş bir biçimde ortaya çıktı.^[9]^[10]

^ Ogden and Richards, Meaning, 125: "'Good' is alleged to stand for a unique, unanalyzable concept … [which] is the subject matter of ethics. This peculiar ethical use of 'good' is, we suggest, a purely emotive use. … Thus, when we so use it in the sentence, 'This is good,' we merely refer to this, and the addition of "is good" makes no difference whatever to our reference … it serves only as an emotive sign expressing our attitude to this, and perhaps evoking similar attitudes in other persons, or inciting them to actions of one kind or another."
