Book Synopsis
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.

Trade Review

“Vetlesen's book is a valuable contribution to ethical thought. The book is an extended argument for the role of empathy in moral perception. What makes Vetlesen's approach unusual is the profitable way in which he blends the insights of both traditional and contemporary, continental and Anglo-American thinkers. This is the sort of ethical thinking that builds bridges.”
