Sympathy : A Philosophical Analysis, Hardback Book

Sympathy : A Philosophical Analysis Hardback

Part of the Swansea Studies in Philosophy series

Hardback

Description

It is widely held in contemporary moral philosophy that moral agency must be explained in terms of some more basic account of human nature.

This book presents a fundamental challenge to this view.

Specifically, it argues that sympathy, understood as an immediate and unthinking response to another's suffering, plays a constitutive role in our conception of what it is to be human, and specifically in that conception of human life on which anything we might call a moral life depends.
