Moral emotional issues are important and responsible content in ethics,and it is one of the basis for influencing ethical behavior.Since ancient Greece,philosophers have paid attention to the moral and emotional problems of human beings,and even in modern times they still argue and disagree with each other.Unlike the empirical experience of Western ancient philosophers?Medieval philosophy and modern sentimental theorists or the moral emotions directly expressed by natural instinct,Kant believes that empirical emotions are the emotional level of pathology,while true moral emotions are pure Rational is to exclude all empirical and perceptual motives.It is entirely out of obligation and comes from the respect of moral laws.Based on Kant's three major critiques,this paper attempts to find the metaphysical basis for morality and systematically expound the basic content of his Moral Feeling based on pure reason.First of all,in the first critique of the theory of Moral Felling,this paper explores the question of how Kant's knowledge of a priori synthetic judgment is possible,and then explores the moral rationality of the critique of pure reason,in an attempt to find the beginning of moral emotion excluding experience.Second,in the second critique of Kant's moral feelings for the redefine,through three absolutely imperative to the moral law to build,which leads to respect and obligation is a connection between,namely people out of obligations to the respect of the law of get rid of the interruptions of natural experience factors such as emotion,desire,in the sensible world,themselves out of self-consciousness in following the moral law and established a real moral emotion.Finally,the sublime as one of the aesthetic emotions in his third critique of judgment is the sublimated"sense of esteem".Similarly,the nobility based on rationality and the emotion in the appreciation of beauty lay the foundation for morality,play a mediating role in the communication between knowledge and morality,effectively facilitate the construction of truth,goodness and beauty in Kant's moral philosophy,and further embody the important role of Kant's moral emotion.This kind of moral emotion,which obeys the pure practical reason,guides the practical behavior of human beings and sets up the moral standard for human beings.
