Expressivism
Expressivism is a philosophical theory primarily associated with ethics and language. It suggests that statements about moral values do not describe facts but express the speaker's emotions or attitudes. For example, saying "Stealing is wrong" reflects a disapproval of stealing rather than stating an objective truth.
In addition to ethics, expressivism can also apply to other areas, such as aesthetics and political discourse. It emphasizes the subjective nature of human experience, arguing that our expressions reveal personal feelings and social contexts rather than universal truths. This perspective encourages understanding communication as a form of emotional expression rather than mere factual reporting.
