Workshop ?Emotion and the arts?Round table: Beyond cognitivism: emotion, art and technologyIn a sentimental mood Sentimental education: emotions, arts?and moral progress?Karina Pedace (UBA-IIF-SADAF-CONICET)karinapedace@gmail.comSolidarity is not discovered by reflection but created (Rorty, 1989:xvi)?The view I am offering says that there is such a thing as moral progress, and that this progress is indeed in the direction of greater human solidarity. But that solidarity is not thought of as recognition of a core self, the human essence, in all human beings. Rather, it is thought of as the ability to see more and more traditional differences (of tribe, religion, race, customs, and the like) as unimportant when compared with similarities with respect to pain and humiliation - the abitity to think of people wildly different from ourselves as included in the range of ?us?.That is why I said [?] that detailed descriptions of particular varieties of pain and humiliation (in, e.g., novels or ethnographies), rather than philosophical or religious treatises, were the modern intellectual's principal contributions to moral progress? (Rorty, Contingency, irony and solidarity, p.192)Jesse Prinz (2007) The emotional construction of morals defends the hypothesis that:1-morality has an emotional foundation: moral values are based----on emotional responses 2-he turns to a defense of moral relativism.Moral progress is possible.
