Debates about which actions are morally wrong and why are familiar. But what is it for something to be morally wrong in the first place? My doctoral thesis defends a sentimentalist analysis of the concept and property of moral wrongness in terms of moral blameworthiness. I argue that this account has important consequences for meta-ethical debates concerning the connection between moral wrongness and normative reasons, and the value of deontic moral concepts.
