  This is a much-needed interdisciplinary investigation of empathy. Leading researchers from philosophy and psychology explore the role of empathy in our capacity to understand other people and predict what they think, feel, and do; the part it plays in our ethical responses to others; and its importance to our appreciation of art and fiction.
