In a divided world, empathy is not the solution, it is the problem.
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. As the latest research
in psychology and neuroscience shows, we feel empathy most for
those we find attractive and who seem similar to us and not at all
for those who are different, distant or anonymous. Empathy
therefore biases us in favour of individuals we know while numbing
us to the plight of thousands. Guiding us expertly through the
experiments, case studies and arguments on all sides, Paul Bloom
ultimately shows that some of our worst decisions - in charity,
child-raising, criminal justice, climate change and war - are
motivated by this wolf in sheep's clothing. Brilliantly argued,
urgent and humane, Against Empathy overturns widely held
assumptions to reveal one of the most profound yet overlooked
sources of human conflict.
