Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Resentment is the moral sentiment felt by a person when that very person has been the victim of an injustice. It is a particular form of moral outrage, which is the feeling someone has when anyone has been the victim of an injustice. Guilt is a moral sentiment felt by those that have done something wrong, while shame is not a moral sentiment. It is like guilt in that it involves a painful feeling for not living up to some standard, but the relevant standards are social standards rather that moral ones. Anger is not necessarily a moral sentiment at all. For instance, you might be angry with someone for showing up to a meeting two minutes late, but their doing so is unlikely to be a moral injustice.
