Perception, Empathy, and Judgment
An Inquiry into the Preconditions of Moral Performance
«
“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.”
