Perception, Empathy, and Judgment - An Inquiry into the Preconditions of Moral Performance

Info autore

Arne Johan Vetlesen, whose dissertation was supervised by Jürgen Habermas, is Research Fellow in Philosophy at the University of Oslo.

Riassunto

This text focuses on the indispensable role of emotion, especially the faculty of empathy, in morality. It contends that moral conduct is severely threatened once empathy is prevented from taking part in an interplay with cognitive faculties in acts of moral perception and judgment.
