"Empathy is one of the most talked about and widely studied concepts of recent years.
Some argue it can help create a more just society, improve medical care and even avert
global catastrophe. Others object that it is morally problematic. Who is right? And
what is empathy anyway? Is it a way of feeling with others, or is it simply feeling
sorry for them? Is it a form of knowledge? What is its evolutionary origin? In this
thorough and clearly-written introduction to the philosophy of empathy Heidi Maibom
explores these questions and more, examining the following topics: The nature of empathy
and key themes in the literature Empathy as a way of understanding others, particularly
'simulation theory' and 'perspective-taking' Empathy, emotional contagion, and sympathy
Empathy's role in moral understanding or motivation Empathy and art appreciation,
with examples from film, music and fiction Empathy and mental disorder, such as psychopathy
and autism. Including chapter summaries, annotated further reading and a glossary,
Empathy is an excellent resource for students of philosophy of mind and psychology,
psychology, and cognitive science, as well as for those in related subjects such as
art, literature and politics"
