Reviews'[Agosta] succeeds in convincing the reader that empathy is indeed a topic which is worthy of renewed attention as it migrates from 'the periphery of ethics, aesthetics, and theory of the mind to a key place in establishing and maintaining the integrity and emotional equilibrium of dynamic interrelations with other individuals'.' - The Journal of Consciousness Studies

SynopsisThis work begins from our Socratic ignorance of empathy. It applies four philosophical methods phenomenology, self psychology, language analysis, and interpretive suspicion (hermeneutics) to generating a clearing for empathy as authentic being with one another in community. In philosophical empathy, the other individual humanizes the one who, in turn, give humanity back to the other in everyday empathy. Examples of empathy in story telling, literature, self psychology, and neurology explore the scope of empathy as the foundation for the community of fellow travelers in finitude. The inquiry is initially guided by Martin Heidegger's call for a 'hermeneutic of empathy.' It is informed by Edmund Husserl's posthumous writings on empathy, and it integrates the contribution of the Anglo-American tradition of John Searle. The result is an exposure of the deep structure of empathy as a fundamentally human capability for creating possibilities of community and human relations., Integrating continental and Anglo-American traditions, the author exposes empathy as the foundation of the being-with-one-another of human beings. The interpretation of empathy is applied to story telling, literature, and self psychology, rescuing empathy from the margins and revealing its role in the understanding of the other and human community.
