Emotivism

Beliefs usually doesn't motivate us, but moral statements do. Maybe that is because they are a form of emotion expression not beliefs (non-cognitivism).
If moral statements are actually expression of emotions, then it will be trivial (comparing with other theories) to explain its inherent connection with motivations.

Initial problem of emotivism

Error Theory

Arguments

1. Moral Judgement express beliefs and are truth-apt (cognitivism)
2. There are no moral properties (non-realism)
c. All moral judgement fails to correspond to a certain reality and therefore false

Speaker relativism

Speaker relativism is different than agent relativism. It states that when we say "Zie is wrong" the truth value depends on the moral framework of us, not zim.

From disagreement

Moral disagreement is often used to justify relativism. If moral are universal, then there moral disagreement should not be that prominent.

The Thought:

Actually this is just a side note.

Lately I am planning to write something to introduce my idea of gender abolishment, the reason why and how we could/should achieve it, its limitation and potential problems, and perhaps alternatives. In the process of exploring, I often stumble upon the metaphysics of gender. I have always think that gender is a social construct, something that is ultimately not intrinsic to the subject[^1]. It seems like this is a vital starting point for me. Because of this, I decided to explore a totally new approach on gender, that gender is not a social construct.

As I was writing this, I find that I lack the tools to talk about feelings and emotions in philosophy, so there might be problems that I do not notice when formulating the properties and qualities of feelings or emotions. The primitive tools I used in analysis is thus based only my naive intuitions. I might revise on this topic and might change my opinion after further study on the philosophy of feelings or e

其實這篇文只是一篇小註腳

最近我計劃寫一篇介紹自己對性別廢除主義文章的看法﹕當中包括為何及如何廢除性別,以及其限制、問題,還有其他策略的可能。在探討過程中,我經常會探討性別的形而上學。我總覺得性別本身是社會建構,並非內在於主體本身1。這似乎是於我而言重要的起點。因此,我決定探索有別於我現有看法的進路,即性別並非社會構成的。

我在寫這篇文期間發現,自己缺乏一些探討情感或感覺的哲學工具。所以,當我在構想情感的特性和特質時,可能會有不自覺的謬誤,故我分析時僅能使用直覺為工具。當我對情感哲學或情緒哲學有更多研究時,我或會修正我對這議題的看法。
