Empathy and History : Historical Understanding in Re-enactment, Hermeneutics and Education, Hardback Book

Empathy and History : Historical Understanding in Re-enactment, Hermeneutics and Education Hardback

Part of the Making Sense of History series

Hardback

Description

Empathy and History offers a comprehensive and dual account of empathy’s intellectual and educational history.

Beginning in an influential educational movement that implanted the concept in R.G.

Collingwood’s re-enactment doctrine, the book goes back to reveal the fundamental role that empathy played in the foundation of the history discipline before tracing its reception and development in twentieth-century hermeneutics and philosophy of history.

Attentive to matters of practice, it illuminates the distinct character of the historical context that empathetic understanding seeks to capture and sets out a new approach to empathy as a special variety of historical questioning.
