Moral Emotivism

Moral emotivism is a philosophical view that suggests when people make moral statements—like "Stealing is wrong"—they're not describing facts but expressing their emotions or feelings. Essentially, such statements aim to influence others' attitudes rather than state objective truths. For example, saying "Helping others is good" is like sharing an emotional approval rather than asserting an absolute fact. This perspective emphasizes that moral language reflects personal feelings or preferences, and moral disagreements are disagreements in attitudes, not factual inaccuracies.
