Resumen
ZAVADIVKER, MARÍA NATALIA. ON THE ADAPTIVE VALUE OF MORALIZED REVULSION FROM AN EVOLUTIONIST PERSPECTIVE. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2014, vol.63, n.154, pp.243-269. ISSN 0120-0062. https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v63n154.32807.
The article addresses the role played by "moralized revulsion", understood as the emotional disgust we feel against individuals and social practices that we deem to be the object of moral evaluation, from an evolutionist perspective. The first part provides a general analysis of the emotion of revulsion and its triggers. Then, the paper discusses two opposing positions regarding the reliability and instrumental value of revulsion in promoting "adequate" moral judgments and inciting to moral action. It then proposes a reinterpretation of the problem from an evolutionist perspective, attempting to correlate the diverse value judgments promoted by moralized revulsion with different adaptive strategies. Finally, it correlates those strategies with liberal and conservative moral positions.
