Do it only if you feel it: this is the motto of the emotivist person. It is true that emotions move and drive our lives, and without them we would not feel alive. But they cannot be the only referent for our free decisions. Postmodernity has designed, with the death of reason, the oblivion of the good of the person and the absence of coherent personal narratives, an emotivist and utilitarian subject, whose defining features are: fragility, disorientation and inner rupture.
José Manuel Horcajo, doctor in Theology, professor at the San Dámaso Ecclesiastical University and parish priest of San Ramón Nonato in Madrid, dives in this brief essay into the philosophical history of emotivism to offer an alternative from Christian anthropology and theology. All this with a light style, close to the spiritual divulgation so in vogue nowadays, that unifies the intellectual discourse with the primacy of love as a light to discern the daily decisions of Christian life.
