- 소개/요약Many people (particularly Buddhists) believe that being a mindful person is generally a morally good way to be. But this idea conflicts with common intuitions about moral emotions—particularly blaming emotions like guilt and resentment—that make it look like being mindful might sometimes make one morally worse. In this paper, I reconcile this tension by (i) presenting a secular(though Buddhism-compatible) account of mindful moral emotion and (ii) arguing that under this account mindful moral emotions do not carry their apparent moral costs, or at the very least such costs are compensated by moral gains. Along the way, I argue that key assumptions motivating the apparent tension are misguided, while gesturing at ways in which mindful moral emotions (and mindful moral emoters) are plausibly morally better than their non-mindful counterparts. I show that you can be a mindful blame-embracer, and you can do so without risking any virtue.
