Justin D’Arms

Justin D'Arms works at the intersection of philosophy and psychology, studying emotions and moral judgment—particularly questions about when emotions like guilt or anger are 'fitting' or appropriate responses to their objects. His work develops a 'sentimentalist' framework, examining how emotions motivate behavior and relate to moral values and virtuous judgment. This research is theoretical/philosophical rather than experimental, drawing on conceptual analysis of emotion, ethics, and rationality.

Publication output was modest and irregular from 2017-2022 (0-3 per year) before a sharp spike to 13 publications in 2023, likely tied to a book release, followed by a return to lower levels in 2024-2025.
