What is the meaning of evaluate terms? what role should affective responses, such as our emotions, play in philosophical analysis of these terms? In this article, I challenge the claim that the emotions are crucial to the meaning of evaluate terms. My main target is a sophiscated revival of sentimentalist tradition. Prominent metaethicsts such as Simon Blackburn, Allan Gibbard, john Mc Dowell, and David Wiggins have insisted that the meaning of many of our most important evaluative terms is to be explained in terms of appropriates of certain human emotions. Unlike traditional sentimentalists, sophiscated sentimentalists don't think that main linguistic function of evalutive terms is simply to express emotion is justified toward that object. Sophiscated sentimentalist believe that once we enrich the sentimentalist framework with a normative element-the idea of the justification or appropriateness of an emotional response-that framework will have the resources to do justice to the more cognitive and reflective aspects of our evaluative thinking and thus to escape the main criticisms traditionally leveled against it.
