Description

About the Author Mark Fagiano is visiting Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Central Florida, USA. Product Description There is widespread disagreement over what constitutes an experience of empathy. In this study of its value and moral features, Mark Fagiano acknowledges the ambiguity surrounding the term and offers a unified theory of empathy that includes rival definitions.His historical account of the multiple meanings of empathy lays the groundwork for a new philosophical theory. Based on relations, it resolves the problem of conflicting definitions of empathy by distinguishing between the three kinds of empathy: the relations of feeling into, feeling with, and feeling for, each of which has been defined historically as a type of empathy. Fagiano's unique focus on relations, on the modes and manner by which we are connected with things and with people, reveals a transactional account of empathy that can be applied to a variety of different contexts and social circumstances. Grounded in the philosophical tradition of American Pragmatism, Fagiano’s approach demonstrates the practical benefits of adopting a broad and pluralistic understanding of empathy as both an idea and a practice. His pragmatic and contextualist philosophy of empathy provides a valuable starting point for answering some of the most pressing questions surrounding empathy today, including can empathy be developed? Is empathy moral? What is the difference between empathy and sympathy? Review "This is a first-rate study, based on cutting-edge research of an urgently important topic. Given the lack or failure of humans to feel empathy even for intimate associates, what could be more important than a deeper, richer understanding of this topic? And what could be more appropriate than a genuine pragmatist approach to what has proven to be such an elusive matter?" --Vincent M. Colapietro, Liberal Arts Research Professor Emeritus, Pennsylvania State University, USA"In Practicing Empathy and Pragmatism, Mark Fagiano critically surveys historical accounts of empathy, articulates an original account of empathy as triply relational-feeling-into, feeling-with, and feeling-for-and applies this theory to ethics, psychology, and politics. The result is a tour de force both for understanding and for practicing empathy." --John J. Stuhr, Arts and Sciences Distinguished Professor of Philosophy and American Studies, Emory University, USA
