He emphasizes the importance of sympathy and empathy in moral decision-making, and suggests that our moral judgments are often influenced by our emotional responses.Overall, Systems of Moral Philosophy is a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of the nature of morality and the various philosophical systems that have attempted to explain it.
