Description and Table of Contents
Description
The English-German collection Herder on Empathy and Sympathy: Einfuhlung und Sympathie im Denken Herders considers the meaning and role of the concepts of empathy and sympathy in Herder's thought. Herder invokes sympathy in a number of disciplinary domains ranging from metaphysics, biology, anthropology, epistemology, psychology, morality, politics, history, aesthetics to homiletics. While Herder is shown as belonging to a long line of thinkers who view sympathy as a metaphysical principle contributing to the interconnectedness of all parts of nature, he also offers new insights about intra-/inter-species sympathetic communication and distinctively human varieties of sympathy for which he reserves the term "sich einfuhlen". Acknowledging the limits of the natural capacity for "sich einfuhlen", Herder nonetheless calls for its reflective cultivation in various domains.
