David Hume on Sentiments and Reason

For the moral sentiment in Appendix I, David Hume wants to find moral reasons and emotions. Through five principles he finally reached the conclusion that reason is not positioned in the moral concept but only helps emotions about moral issues. The reason can be true or false, but these truths or lies apply to facts, not morals. Then he thinks morality is a direct result of emotion, or feeling of inner feeling of human beings.

Moral indifference is a complete lack of moral sentiment or silence. Without these moral feelings and emotions, our moral system can not exist. David Hume (1724-1776) insists that rationality can not be the basis of our moral system. Hume pointed out that this does not infringe rationality, but tends to hurt the world's fingers. He also acknowledged that choosing to completely destroy himself does not violate rationality. So what is it that disturbs morally? Our moral feelings and emotions. Hume insists that the reason should be a slave of feelings, but I believe that this effect is mutual. We need to shape our moral feelings through rationality and our rationality needs to be alleviated by our moral sentiment.

Philosopher David Hume is a pioneer of this view. Hume does not regard morality as a rational company. He thinks the reason is dominated by emotion. Of course, our moral decisions are summarized and presented for reasons, but for Hume these reasons are objective, but they are not only guided by specific emotions, they are sometimes brought about by them. If morality is how we deal with each other, why so many ancient texts put too much space in the rules of menstruation? Explain that these laws are neither rational nor health related. (Why are you Kosher, are not most Grasshoppers?) It seems to me that disgust is the principle of more promising interpretation.
