More about the book
Exploring the evolution of sympathy, this essay examines Aristotle's definition as a painful response to another's suffering and contrasts it with late nineteenth-century critiques. It highlights two prominent figures—one from philosophy and the other from the arts—who challenge the notion that sympathy is essential to humanity and morality. The discussion culminates in an analysis of the common ground between these diverse perspectives, offering insights into the changing understanding of sympathy in literature and philosophy.
