Exploring the complexities of empathy, Samuel Fleischacker examines Adam Smith's concept of "sympathy," which aligns closely with modern interpretations of empathy while acknowledging individual differences. By analyzing Smith's insights alongside contemporary research, Fleischacker argues that true empathy involves understanding another's perspective without losing one's own identity. This approach not only bridges human divides but also enhances current discussions about the role and significance of empathy in society, offering a deeper appreciation of its potential.
