Redirect to Disgust?
editI really wonder whether the current redirection of moral sense to disgust is appropriate. To my understanding, disgust refers primarily to a bodily feeling like hunger or thirst, whereas moral sense is more subtle, like the sense of sight, hearing, or even better intuitions about how the world works, how the space is shaped and the like. --Dan Polansky 12:41, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- But Wiktionary on disgust shows I was mistaken. Still, having a dedicated article on moral sense would be appropriate, wouldn't it? --Dan Polansky 12:44, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- Moral sense should have it's own article. The moral sense doesn't necessarily involve disgust, anyway. On most accounts, it involves emotions of praise, etc. as well. The moral sense is primarily a faculty posited by moral sense theorists (also known as sentimentalists) that allows one to know moral truths. It's a meta-ethical theory about the epistemology of morality. I'm going to change the redirect from disgust to moral sense theory and try to get an article going on moral sense theories. - Jaymay 06:56, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
