    Summary note
    "The English-German collection Herder on Empathy and Sympathy Einfühlung und Sympathie im Denken Herders considers the meaning and role of the concepts of empathy and sympathy in Herder's thought. Herder invokes sympathy in a number of disciplinary domains ranging from metaphysics, biology, anthropology, epistemology, psychology, morality, politics, history, aesthetics to homiletics. It shows that while Herder belongs to a long line of thinkers who view sympathy as a metaphysical principle contributing to the interconnectedness of all parts of nature, he offers new insights about intra-/inter-species sympathetic communication and distinctively human varieties of sympathy for which he reserves the term "sich einfühlen". Acknowledging the limits of the natural capacity for "sich einfühlen", Herder nonetheless calls for its reflective cultivation in various domains"-- Provided by publisher.
