Connecting expression of emotions + prescription of action and where it shows up across different knowledge domains in my search for a moral framework that makes sense to me.
Emotive-Directive Framework
1. Moral philosophy::non-cognitive combination of emotivism (express emotions) & prescriptivism (prescribe actions) ⟷ Social psychology::persuasive messages (emotive appeal & directive content).
2. Political science::political rhetoric (emotional appeal & policy proposals) ⟷ Communication studies::propaganda techniques (emotional manipulation & calls to action).
3. Aesthetics::emotional responses to art & aesthetic judgments (value assessments) ⟷ Art history::art as social commentary (expressive content & cultural prescriptions).
4. Neuroscience::emotion regulation (modulation of emotional states) & decision-making (behavioral prescriptions) ⟷ Psychology::cognitive-behavioral therapy (emotional management & action-oriented interventions).
5. Linguistics::pragmatics (emotional expressions in language) & speech acts (performative utterances) ⟷ Sociolinguistics::politeness theory (emotionally-charged interactions & social norms).
6. Marketing::emotional branding (emotional resonance) & call-to-action (persuasive directives) ⟷ Consumer behavior::emotional decision-making (emotional influence & choice behavior).
7. Ethics::empathy-based ethics (compassionate consideration) & moral imperatives (ethical prescriptions) ⟷ Sociology::prosocial behavior (emotional connection & cooperative actions).
8. Cultural studies::cultural values (emotional significance) & social norms (behavioral expectations) ⟷ Anthropology::rituals and customs (emotional expression & prescribed actions).
This table illustrates how an Emotive-Directive Framework can be applied across a range of knowledge domains, fields of study, and paradigms, highlighting the interplay of emotional expressions and directive components within each area.
