Against Empathy
Overturns widely held assumptions to reveal profound truths.
We think of empathy – the ability to feel the suffering of others for ourselves – as the ultimate source of all good behaviour. But while it inspires care and protection in personal relationships, it has the opposite effect in the wider world. Brilliantly argued, urgent and humane, Against Empathy reveals one of the most overlooked sources of human conflict.
