Empathy
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-38859-0 (ISBN)
This book examines the concept of empathy in sociological and neuroscientific discourses using innovative perspectives from sociology and social neuroscience. Through a transdisciplinary approach, the author delves into the history of empathy and its social, cultural and semantic changes, and then reviews the conception of empathy in neuroscientific discourse.
Distancing itself from the traditional neuroscientific literature of biological universalism, this volume offers an innovative perspective on empathy. It also opens a new avenue for neurosociology, which is presented as the discipline that can emphasize all the cultural and emotional aspects that govern empathy. Key themes addressed in the text are: empathy in all its meanings, from Hume to TenHouten; neurosociology as one possible avenue for embracing the cultural and neuroscientific aspects of empathy; and empirical research. A valuable resource for sociology students and academics in the field of empathy and neurosociology, this book is also of interest to those studying sociological thought, and social neuroscience.lt;b>Vincenzo Auriemma is a research fellow at the University of Salerno, Italy, and instructor in History of Sociological Thought. His research focuses on empathy and the contribution of neuroscience to social analysis. He is a member of the Laboratory for Analysis and Experimental Research (University of Salerno), the International Sociological Association (ISA), the European Sociological Association (ESA), the Italian Sociology Association (AIS) and Sociology of the Person (SPe), and scientific director of the National Pass the Ball Network, which combats bullying and cyberbullying
