I think this is the corner of “categorization” philosophies. Items and topics are categorized and valued/labeled in certain boxes or intersections in heavy handed way. Those philosophies get stuck in their own trappings where complexity gets to great, that is why I love more organic philosophers like Gilles Deleuze.

Morality is both emotional and rational, it is part of the psychological make up. And indeed you are right that philosophy as wielded in a pure linguistic structure won’t get you very far, I mean they might yield interesting insights, but they are limited by their own rules often.
