moral emotions, moral conscience, consciousness, moral conflict.Abstract
I propose in this critical note to reintegrate the place of moral emotions in the space of reasons by establishing a conception of moral conscience as a high degree of consciousness following Hegel’s ideas on consciousness. The space is significantly enlarged by the emo-tions of empathy, guilt, shame and compassion, these emotions allow us to bring to cons-ciousness reflective control without jettisoning away negative emotions contrary to these, and, then, in such space we increase reflective control relative to our moral lives.
