Empatia in tempi di rabbia | Laura Boella | TEDxBrianza

Why, to love others, must we see them suffer? In times like ours, when multiple fault lines crisscross the world (rich and poor, North and South; urbanized and non-urbanized), the rediscovery of empathy, understood as an expression of our fundamental need for communication and sharing, becomes increasingly precious. Moral philosopher and empathy expert Laura Boella, speaking at TEDxBrianza, discusses the topic in detail: from the forms in which it is expressed to the surprising scientific research shedding light on its neural underpinnings. This talk was presented at a TEDx event, which uses the TED conference format but was independently organized by a local community. For more information, visit http://ted.com/tedx. Laura Boella is Professor of Moral Philosophy at the Department of Philosophy at the University of Milan. She has dedicated numerous studies to Ernst Bloch and 20th-century female thought. He then developed the theme of intersubjective relationships, empathy, and sympathy, proposing a critical comparison between current scientific research and the phenomenological perspective.
