Title: A rumor of empathy
Description: The deep, underground history of empathy is surfaced and reconstructed in Hume, Kant, Lipps, Frued, Scheler, Stein, and Husserl. A rumor of empathy becomes a scandal of empathy in Lipp's projections and Strachey's mistranslations. Yet when all the philosophical arguments and categories are complete, the phenomenological methods reduced, and hermeneutic circles spun out, in empathy, we are quite simply in the presence of another human being.
