Abstract

Here I defend response moralism, the view that some emotional responses to fictions are morally right, and others morally wrong, from the objection that responses to merely fictional characters and events cannot be morally evaluated. I defend the view that emotional responses to fictions can be morally evaluated only to the extent that said responses are responses to real people and events.
