| Sommario/riassunto: | The book explores the concept of empathy and its role in moral decision-making. The author argues against the common belief that empathy is a necessary component of moral goodness, suggesting instead that empathy can lead to irrational and harmful decisions. The book posits that conscious, rational reasoning should guide moral actions rather than emotional empathy. It addresses various societal issues, emphasizing the importance of deliberative thinking over emotional reactions. The intended audience includes individuals interested in psychology, ethics, and moral philosophy. |
