FOCUS

Empathy might seem a natural human emotion—but is it? Or does it have a
history; is it culturally produced and regulated? Is it always positive or
does it have a darker side? The speakers at this symposium explore the
question of empathy from a range of disciplines— philosophy, religion,
aesthetics, literature, film studies, history. They ask what role the
creative arts have, and should have, in the production of empathy, how
different historical cultures have viewed empathy, and whether empathy is
simply a warm inner feeling or requires outward action to be effected.
