Why Disgust Matters: Insights from Dr. Daniel Kelly’s New Book

Dr. Daniel Kelly, Professor of Philosophy and Director of the new Cognition, Agency, and Intelligence Center at the College of Liberal Arts, Purdue University, delves into his book Yuck! The Nature and Moral Significance of Disgust, exploring the science and philosophy behind our reactions of revulsion and their moral significance. “Yuck!” explores how disgust - toward objects or ideas, shapes our social and moral lives. Dr. Daniel Kelly examines its evolution, showing how this emotion, rooted in avoiding danger, influences our judgments and behaviors. He argues that many moral reactions tinged with disgust are by-products of an ancient defense system and cautions against using disgust as a basis for moral justification. To explore Prof. Daniel R.
