Abstract

Auch wenn der Begriff Empathie in den letzten Jahren eine wachsende Rolle in den Diskussionen zur Natur emotionaler Involvierung des Zuschauers vor einem Bild – gleichviel ob bewegt oder unbewegt – gespielt hat, wird doch in der heutigen Forschung selten der ausgreifenden Debatte zur Intersubjektivität gedacht, die sich vor und nach 1900 an den Begriff der Einfühlung knüpfte und sich dabei von der Psychologie über die Kunstgeschichte bis hin zur philosophischen Ästhetik spannte. Die Arbeit des Psychologen und Ästhetikers Theodor Lipps kann dabei als repräsentativ gelten, lässt sich die Besonderheit seines Ansatzes doch darin erkennen, dass Lipps Einfühlung als eine unwillkürliche, instinkthafte und kinästhetische Form der Anverwandlung betrachtet, die sich – und das ist bedeutsam – auch auf unbelebte Objekte erstrecken kann, etwa auf Räume, Farben oder Geräusche, sich aber naturgemäß eher auf belebte Objekte wie Tiere oder andere Menschen erstreckt. Diese Vorstellung einer gleichsam allumfassenden empathischen Nahbeziehung zur Welt bildet den Ausgangspunkt, um von dort aus zeitgenössischen Diskussionen und Konzepte des ästhetischen Erlebens nachzugehen. Mit Beiträgen von Guiliana Bruno, Zeynep Celik Alexander, Robin Curtis, Scott Curtis, Joseph Imorde, Gertrud Koch, Juliet Koss, Antonia Lant, Christine Noll Brinckmann, Frederick Schwartz, Ed Tan, Kirsten Wagner, Christiane Voss.

Abstract

In Thinking of Others, Ted Cohen argues that the ability to imagine oneself as another person is an indispensable human capacity--as essential to moral awareness as it is to literary appreciation--and that this talent for identification is the same as the talent for metaphor. To be able to see oneself as someone else, whether the someone else is a real person or a fictional character, is to exercise the ability to deal with metaphor and other figurative language. The underlying faculty, Cohen argues, is the same--simply the ability to think of one thing as another when it plainly is not. In an engaging style, Cohen explores this idea by examining various occasions for identifying with others, including reading fiction, enjoying sports, making moral arguments, estimating one's future self, and imagining how one appears to others. Using many literary examples, Cohen argues that we can engage with fictional characters just as intensely as we do with real people, and he looks at some of the ways literature itself takes up the question of interpersonal identification and understanding. An original meditation on the necessity of imagination to moral and aesthetic life, Thinking of Others is an important contribution to philosophy and literary theory.

Abstract

Scanlon reframes current philosophical debates as he explores the moral permissibility of an action. Blame, he argues, is a response to the meaning of an action rather than its permissibility. This analysis leads to a novel account of the conditions of moral responsibility and to important conclusions about the ethics of blame.
