    The lecture introduces a philosophical coffee session focusing on Chapter 3 of a module in ethics, emphasizing the role of feelings in moral decision-making. It highlights the challenges individuals face when their emotions cloud their ethical judgments, and underscores the importance of reason and the will in making sound ethical decisions. The discussion will encompass feelings' relationship to ethical judgments and the concepts of moral courage.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    Continuing the discussion, the speaker elaborates on the concept that emotions are inherent and cannot be eliminated, positing that there are no inherently 'bad' emotions, only poor expressions of emotions. The speaker cautions against making decisions based on heightened emotional states, explaining that ethical decisions should be approached with a balanced mindset. Two ethical models are introduced: ethical subjectivism, which posits moral truth is based on individual feelings, and emotivism, which suggests moral beliefs reflect emotions rather than objective truths.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:15:00

    The session moves further to explain emotivism as a simplistic form of ethical subjectivism, where moral claims are seen as expressions of approval or disapproval. Examples from current societal issues, such as differing views on humanitarian actions, are cited to illustrate subjective moral beliefs. The speaker encourages students to recognize that while feelings influence ethical decisions, they should not be the sole determinants in moral reasoning.

  • 00:15:00 - 00:20:41

    Lastly, the lesson encapsulates the importance of both positive and negative emotions in guiding ethical behavior. It highlights that feelings like empathy and sympathy can inspire ethical actions, while negative emotions can serve as ethical deterrents. The speaker concludes by reiterating that rational abilities should guide emotions for ethical living, inviting students to engage with any questions they might have about the material covered.

  • 00:00:02
    this day we will have another
  • 00:00:03
    philosophical coffee session
  • 00:00:07
    we will discuss about chapter three or
  • 00:00:10
    of our module in ethics which focuses on
  • 00:00:13
    the act so it
  • 00:00:18
    module in ethics i just want you to know
  • 00:00:21
    that this
  • 00:00:22
    lecture series is primarily intended for
  • 00:00:24
    my students at isabella state university
  • 00:00:26
    kawaii campus
  • 00:00:28
    however it can also be used by the
  • 00:00:30
    students of my colleagues
  • 00:00:31
    mr rene mar luyon mr lovey palmeira
  • 00:00:34
    mr jason kolkol professor gabloon of isu
  • 00:00:38
    kawaiian
  • 00:00:39
    and of uh mr arrest general bautista
  • 00:00:43
    of isu kabhagan so we
  • 00:00:46
    started isolating lecture so we
  • 00:00:48
    discussed about
  • 00:00:49
    the acts all right so
  • 00:00:53
    class this module explores the role of
  • 00:00:57
    feelings
  • 00:00:58
    in mortal decisions and the
  • 00:00:59
    disadvantages of
  • 00:01:01
    over-reliance on feelings so a lot of
  • 00:01:04
    people may not be aware
  • 00:01:06
    when their behavior diverts from ethical
  • 00:01:09
    standards
  • 00:01:10
    because their emotions and moods get the
  • 00:01:12
    better
  • 00:01:13
    part of them so means
  • 00:01:28
    so this module also provides models in
  • 00:01:31
    which
  • 00:01:31
    students can make reasoned and impartial
  • 00:01:34
    ethical decisions
  • 00:01:36
    and understand why reason is not enough
  • 00:01:39
    in carrying out their ethical decisions
  • 00:01:42
    as well
  • 00:01:43
    so it proposes that the will is as
  • 00:01:46
    important as reason
  • 00:01:48
    and developing moral courage helps
  • 00:01:51
    towards moral excellence
  • 00:01:54
    so class actually um
  • 00:01:58
    topics for chapter 3
  • 00:02:02
    uh feelings and moral decision making
  • 00:02:06
    at the university
  • 00:02:12
    as minimum requirements for morality and
  • 00:02:15
    then the third topic
  • 00:02:17
    uh the third topic is moral courage
  • 00:02:20
    so happy
  • 00:02:27
    number one so feelings and
  • 00:02:30
    ethical decision making so before that
  • 00:02:34
    let us just read the learning outcomes
  • 00:02:36
    for this topic
  • 00:02:38
    so upon completion of this topic the
  • 00:02:40
    student must be able to one explain the
  • 00:02:43
    relationship between feelings
  • 00:02:45
    and ethical judgments and to
  • 00:02:48
    evaluate feelings as both obstacles
  • 00:02:52
    and useful to making right decisions
  • 00:02:57
    okay so next slide feelings
  • 00:03:00
    intuitions or what we call as moral
  • 00:03:03
    emotions
  • 00:03:04
    they play a major role in most of the
  • 00:03:07
    ethical decisions
  • 00:03:08
    people make
  • 00:03:12
    decisions people make very
  • 00:03:15
    when they are happy
  • 00:03:34
    so words that come out of our mouth
  • 00:03:37
    sometimes
  • 00:03:38
    are also affected by the emotions that
  • 00:03:41
    we feel
  • 00:03:42
    and so with our actions
  • 00:04:41
    he expressed that there is a difference
  • 00:04:44
    between
  • 00:04:45
    experiencing the emotion and expressing
  • 00:04:48
    the emotion
  • 00:04:49
    so mccain didn't experience my emotion
  • 00:04:52
    expressing emotion so he further
  • 00:04:55
    stressed that there are no bad emotions
  • 00:04:58
    only bad expressions of emotions
  • 00:05:07
    our emotions are already in us
  • 00:05:10
    we cannot take away these emotions or
  • 00:05:13
    these emotions in us
  • 00:05:22
    normally
  • 00:05:33
    the problem is that sometimes people
  • 00:05:36
    experience
  • 00:05:56
    when we express our emotions that is why
  • 00:05:59
    he come up to this
  • 00:06:00
    notion that there are no bad emotions
  • 00:06:03
    there are only bad expressions
  • 00:06:07
    of emotions now
  • 00:06:11
    to continue
  • 00:06:18
    never reply when you are angry
  • 00:06:21
    never make a promise when you are happy
  • 00:06:25
    and never make a decision when you are
  • 00:06:28
    sad it is
  • 00:06:37
    when you allow yourself to be
  • 00:06:40
    overcome by your emotions
  • 00:06:44
    now there are two related models in
  • 00:06:47
    ethics
  • 00:06:48
    actually that we need to discuss number
  • 00:06:51
    one
  • 00:06:51
    ethical subjectivism and number two
  • 00:06:55
    emotivism so what is the difference
  • 00:06:57
    between
  • 00:06:58
    the two let us first study what ethical
  • 00:07:02
    subjectivism
  • 00:07:03
    is sabinito it holds
  • 00:07:06
    the truth or falsity of ethical
  • 00:07:09
    propositions
  • 00:07:10
    is dependent on the feelings attitudes
  • 00:07:13
    or standards of a person or
  • 00:07:15
    group of persons so meaning to say
  • 00:07:18
    ethical subjectivism is based
  • 00:07:21
    solely on feelings
  • 00:07:24
    [Applause]
  • 00:07:25
    emotions to give you an example for
  • 00:07:28
    example or
  • 00:07:29
    a homosexual come from the parlor
  • 00:07:33
    or a homosexual from the parlor passes
  • 00:07:35
    in front
  • 00:07:36
    of a group of freshmen nearby so duma
  • 00:07:39
    and
  • 00:07:39
    young homosexual is a guru freshman and
  • 00:07:55
    is sinfulness
  • 00:07:58
    homosexuality is abnormal
  • 00:08:01
    so if he said this because he had been
  • 00:08:05
    abused
  • 00:08:06
    and molested by a homosexual when he was
  • 00:08:10
    a child
  • 00:08:11
    then he is by us
  • 00:08:14
    he only made that because of his
  • 00:08:16
    feelings of anger
  • 00:08:23
    when he was still a child he was abused
  • 00:08:26
    or he was molested
  • 00:08:38
    by
  • 00:08:42
    so because of the gallate of that one
  • 00:08:44
    person in the group
  • 00:08:47
    young pakistan homosexuality is wrong or
  • 00:08:50
    whatever attack against
  • 00:08:51
    homosexuality actually plus this is a
  • 00:08:54
    very
  • 00:08:54
    big debate so in our society right now
  • 00:08:58
    human homosexual sickness we are not yet
  • 00:09:01
    accepted
  • 00:09:01
    but class
  • 00:09:05
    homosexuals
  • 00:09:18
    not because you are a homosexual then
  • 00:09:20
    you are already a sinful person
  • 00:09:24
    or not because you are homosexual
  • 00:09:47
    there is already gender equality gender
  • 00:09:50
    equity
  • 00:09:58
    now to continue with our discussion
  • 00:10:02
    okay so emotivism so what is now this uh
  • 00:10:06
    emotivism anonymous
  • 00:10:09
    motivism it is a naive version of
  • 00:10:13
    ethical subjectivism
  • 00:10:15
    so this version says that a moral belief
  • 00:10:18
    is true
  • 00:10:19
    if it is held with sincerity and
  • 00:10:22
    conviction
  • 00:10:24
    or to say that an act is right or
  • 00:10:27
    a person is good is merely to emote just
  • 00:10:30
    express your emotions
  • 00:10:34
    ethical subjectivism
  • 00:10:38
    non-ethical subjectivism
  • 00:10:43
    they claim emotivists they claim
  • 00:10:47
    that statements about good or evil are
  • 00:10:50
    just expressing a subject's
  • 00:10:52
    approval or disapproval of a particular
  • 00:10:54
    thing so meaning to say
  • 00:10:58
    agriculture
  • 00:11:23
    the philippines or the philippine
  • 00:11:25
    government or the duterte administration
  • 00:11:28
    telegram war on ranks and people may
  • 00:11:31
    agree with the war on drugs
  • 00:11:33
    and and some do not agree
  • 00:11:36
    with
  • 00:11:41
    we are contrasting okay uh we differ
  • 00:11:44
    from our opinions
  • 00:12:17
    some of them are just part of the
  • 00:12:19
    collateral damage
  • 00:12:22
    due to some war on drugs so tungsten
  • 00:12:24
    motivism it depends
  • 00:12:26
    on the subject's approval or disapproval
  • 00:12:29
    of a particular thing
  • 00:12:30
    maganda bangalore on drugs the
  • 00:12:33
    supporters of war on taxes
  • 00:12:36
    disagrees
  • 00:12:52
    feelings cannot solely rely upon by
  • 00:12:54
    reason and feelings may complement each
  • 00:12:56
    other or feelings cannot be solely they
  • 00:12:58
    lied upon
  • 00:12:59
    yeah new feelings
  • 00:13:04
    on traditionally
  • 00:13:07
    ethical decision making process has been
  • 00:13:09
    understood
  • 00:13:11
    as an exclusively mental process that
  • 00:13:14
    our feelings have nothing to do with
  • 00:13:16
    matters of right or wrong
  • 00:13:18
    and good and bad
  • 00:13:33
    although most existing researchers
  • 00:13:36
    emphasize the mental elements of
  • 00:13:38
    decision making
  • 00:13:39
    there are pieces of evidence to support
  • 00:13:41
    the idea that emotion
  • 00:13:43
    is also a necessary component leading to
  • 00:13:46
    ethical decisions and ethical behavior
  • 00:13:49
    so the arousal of emotion influences
  • 00:13:52
    moral reflection
  • 00:13:53
    and ultimately adding moral behavior
  • 00:13:57
    okay example inner directed
  • 00:14:00
    negative emotions embarrassment
  • 00:14:04
    and shame often motivate people
  • 00:14:07
    to act ethically
  • 00:14:14
    because
  • 00:14:39
    emotions it aims to discipline or punish
  • 00:14:43
    why example people often direct anger
  • 00:14:46
    disgust
  • 00:14:47
    or contempt at those who act who have
  • 00:14:50
    acted unethically
  • 00:15:04
    it has something to do with the rewards
  • 00:15:06
    in punishment
  • 00:16:01
    and outer directed negative emotions
  • 00:16:04
    now positive emotions demand like
  • 00:16:06
    gratitude and admiration
  • 00:16:08
    which people may feel when they see
  • 00:16:10
    someone acting with compassion or
  • 00:16:11
    kindness
  • 00:16:12
    can prompt people to help others too
  • 00:16:20
    bad
  • 00:17:17
    okay but i'm telling what what i'm what
  • 00:17:19
    i'm telling is that
  • 00:17:20
    don't positive emotions at all
  • 00:17:26
    it can prompt people to help others too
  • 00:17:28
    and
  • 00:17:30
    emotions evoke by suffering such as
  • 00:17:32
    sympathy and empathy
  • 00:17:34
    often lead people to act ethically
  • 00:17:37
    towards others
  • 00:17:38
    sympathy empathy
  • 00:17:42
    empathy
  • 00:18:16
    you put your feet inside the shoes of
  • 00:18:18
    that person so that's empathy
  • 00:18:21
    all right grass so
  • 00:18:24
    so the last slide this is the last slide
  • 00:18:27
    already
  • 00:18:29
    you represent us so while we may believe
  • 00:18:33
    that our moral decisions are influenced
  • 00:18:35
    most by our philosophy or religious
  • 00:18:38
    values
  • 00:18:39
    in total our emotions play a significant
  • 00:18:42
    role
  • 00:18:42
    in our ethical decision making so class
  • 00:18:45
    always remember
  • 00:18:47
    that uh not because
  • 00:18:50
    you are uh you are full of emotions
  • 00:19:09
    which we should have not told or which
  • 00:19:13
    we should have not done congenital full
  • 00:19:15
    of emotions
  • 00:19:16
    or we allow our vision to guide our
  • 00:19:19
    emotions
  • 00:19:20
    so in this topic uh
  • 00:19:30
    in order for us to live an ethical life
  • 00:19:33
    but our emotions should be guided by our
  • 00:19:36
    vision because our reason is ever
  • 00:19:39
    supreme
  • 00:19:40
    and tanda as human beings
  • 00:19:45
    rational ability in order for us
  • 00:19:54
    so i hope that you are able to
  • 00:19:58
    learn something uh on this topic class
  • 00:20:02
    and
  • 00:20:02
    if there are some questions about this
  • 00:20:05
    topic
  • 00:20:06
    just feel free to direct message me
  • 00:20:10
    or he said that it's a gc but uh
