Kant on Rational Sympathy

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This Element explains Kant's distinction between rational sympathy and natural sympathy. In rational sympathy, we freely use the imagination to step into others' first-person perspectives and associate imagined intuitional contents with the concepts others use to communicate their feelings. This prompts feelings in us that are like their feelings.
