Morality and psychology
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this paper I suggest that, although most useful to understand and assess moral conduct, both personal and social, behavior analysis is essentially unable to account for moral experience and feelings. In accordance with Wittgenstein's views about ethics and on the basis of his famous "first vs. third person" asymmetries, I try to show that there can be no science of values in the interesting, non empirical or transcendental sense of the word. On my perspective, the most important connection that can be established is between moral decisions and the meaning of life.
