The Moral Dimensions of Empathy cover

Does empathy help us to be moral? The author argues that empathy is often instrumental to meeting the demands of morality as defined by various ethical theories. This multi-faceted work links psychological research on empathy with ethical theory and contemporary trends in moral education.

'Oxley's book The Moral Dimensions of Empathy constitutes a remarkably wide-ranging and comprehensive study of the function of empathy in ethical contexts. Oxley's astute and measured exploration of this subject matter makes it a rewarding read for philosophers and researchers in the social sciences.' - Karsten Stueber, College of the Holy Cross, USA
