Abstract: (1212 Views) |
Moral emotions have a suitable capacity to explain some moral virtues; which have been expressed in the discussions of moral psychology through various empirical methods under each of the identified emotions. The purpose of this research is to explain the effect of the emotion of shame as the main pillar of conscious emotions on the field of divine morality and social ethics. The most important result obtained by using the descriptive-analytical method and collecting documents is that the emotion of shame is an innate act that consists of three components: external monitoring, internal dignity, and behavioral ugliness. And as a moral virtue in self-evaluation and in relation to God, it can provide the basis for man to achieve a level of piety based on his dignity. In addition, the emotion of shame in the field of social ethics is the source of good behaviors such as “respect” and “honoring others” and “keeping promises”. |
