There is widespread disagreement over what constitutes an experience of empathy. In this study of its value and moral features, Mark Fagiano acknowledges the ambiguity surrounding the term and offers a unified theory of empathy that includes rival definitions.His historical account of the multiple meanings of empathy lays the groundwork for a new philosophical theory.
