In addition, empathy is seen as having a central role in aesthetics, in the understanding of our engagement with works of art and with fictional characters. A fuller understanding of empathy is now offered by the interaction of research in science and the humanities. \u003cem\u003eEmpathy: Philosophical and Psychological Perspectives\u003c\/em\u003e draws together nineteen original chapters by leading researchers across several disciplines, together with an extensive Introduction by the editors. The individual chapters reveal how important it is, in a wide range of fields of enquiry, to bring to bear an understanding of the role of empathy in its various guises. This volume offers the ideal starting-point for the exploration of this intriguing aspect of human life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUP UK","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47599165767831,"sku":"9780199539956","price":10628.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780199539956.webp?v=1775003370","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/empathy-philosophical-and-psychological-perspectives-9780199539956","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
