A rumor of empathy in vicarious receptivity, understanding, interpretation, narrative, and empathic intersubjectivity becomes the scandal of empathy in Lipps and Strachey. Yet when all the philosophical arguments and categories are complete and all the hermeneutic circles spun out, we are quite simply in the presence of another human being.

Lou Agosta teaches Empathy in the History and Systems of Philosophy and Psychology at Argosy University, USA. He is the author of Empathy in the Context of Philosophy on a hermeneutic phenomenological approach to empathy. See www.aRumorOfEmpathy.com.
