Philosophers, social scientists, and psychologists widely recognize the central role of empathy in understanding others and its importance in our social and interpersonal interactions. Empathy discussions permeate various academic publications, as well as traditional and social media. However, a clear and uniform definition of empathy remains elusive, partly due to the abundance of definitions and the need to distinguish it from related concepts such as sympathy and compassion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book aims to address these challenges by proposing new approaches to the topic. Chapters 1 to 5 seek to clarify the lack of clarity and profusion of interpretations by offering fresh perspectives. The second objective of the book is to connect the abstract discussions of empathy with its normative functions. Chapters 6 to 8 engage with theoretical concerns related to the ethics of empathy, raising thought-provoking points about its significance in ethical thought and action. The final four chapters focus on the practical normative significance of empathy by exploring the connections between empathy, vulnerability, and care in situations of ill health.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chapters in this book were originally published in the International Journal of Philosophical Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 453g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367679811\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44646952173818,"sku":"9780367679811","price":39.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1697218877116_book.jpg?v=1697577356","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-value-of-empathy-9780367679811","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
