For past 2000 years, the dominant discourse in the field of morality has been rationality, and being influenced by emotion in morality has been treated as a weakness. Hume broke this barrier for the first time and incorporated sentiments into morality. But from 2000 onwards, with the advancement of neuroscience and its involvement in ethics and the study of the moral judgment process, a new opportunity opened up for ethicist to factor in empirical debates, in addition to philosophical debates, on theorizing the role of emotions in ethics. Various theories have emerged in this field. This study examines five important theories related to the role of emotions in ethics, namely the rationalist ,the dual-process model, the social intuitionist model, neo-sentimentalism and the constitution Model. Given that talking about the role of emotion in ethics is still considered a weakness in our ethics, we sought to adapt Allameh Tabatabai's view as a philosopher who first spoke about the role of emotions in ethics and then examine his theory in comparison with existing theories and identify its strengths and weaknesses.
Keywords: rationalist, dual-process model, social intuitionist model, neo-sentimentalism, constitution Model
