Kant famously claims that emotions, as such, cannot be morally required: ‘Love as an inclination cannot be commanded’ (G 4:399). At times, his attitude seems even more negative:
[I]nclinations … are so far from having an absolute worth … that it must instead be the wish of every rational being to be altogether free of them. (G 4:428)
[They] … are always burdensome to a rational being, and though he cannot lay them aside, they wrest from him the wish to be rid of them. (KpV 5:118)
