The Feeling of Value

Moral Realism Grounded in Phenomenal Consciousness
Book • 2016
In this book, Sharon Hewitt Rawlette explores the concept of value and its intrinsic nature.

She argues that value is not something external but is rooted in the qualia of phenomenal consciousness.

The book delves into metaethics, examining whether there are objective truths in ethics and how we come to know them.

Rawlette posits that positive feelings and sensations are intrinsically valuable, while suffering and pain are intrinsically negative.

She defends a form of moral realism where the goodness or badness of experiences are qualitative properties directly observable in conscious experience.
