| Description | The present article introduces the moral foundations theory by Russian philosopher V. S. Solovyov. It shows that three emotions are in the foundations of morality: shame, pity, and reverence. Morality is conditioned by the presence of all three emotions in man, then, a person who lacks any of these emotions is not acting morally. In the current article, a few examples – based on novels by F. M. Dostoevsky – are provided to demonstrate what the shortage of these emotions can cause. The analyzed material is taken from The Brothers Karamazov and The Adolescent. |
