Abstract
This paper focuses on the emoti vi st concepti on of the moral argument, particularly in versions offered by the British philosophers Alfred Ayer and Bertrand Russell. The emotivism maintains that value judgements do not claim anything, so they are neither true nor false, but only to express certain emotions or desires. From an analysis of these perspectives, test that includes some criticisms, I intend to show –against the widespread accusation of emotivism excludes argumentation, for reduce discussions to mere rhetoric– that it is possible to realize a genuine moral reasoning from a perspective that not entirely reject of emotivism.
