Franco Ferrarotti (2011) Creative Empathy. Power, Authority And Human Formation

Abstract

L'empatia creatrice. Potere, autorità e formazione umana is the product of a mature philosophical reflection on intersubjectivity, namely regarding the creation of empathy leading to the production of knowledge. It is organised into seven chapters and two appendices, and Ferrarotti offers his perspective on the shared creation of knowledge, adding the presupposition of creative empathy to that of dialogical identity. The work arises in order for the author to set out the basis of the training he considers necessary for working with biographical narratives.
