This is where I strongly disagree with Hume. I think the dichotomy he setup between reason and emotions is extremely misleading. Hume goes on to insist that our feelings of approval and disapproval constitute moral judgments. This is wrong, and I say so because our feelings and emotions are non-propositional, non truth-apt and not tools of cognition. There is no conflict between reason and emotions but between conscious reasoning and non conscious instincts and intuitions. The proper place for our emotions are simply and exclusively to power our thoughts and actions.
