In a divided world, empathy is not the solution, it is the problem; a source of prejudice, not kindness.
We think of empathy – the ability to feel the suffering of others for ourselves – as the ultimate source of all good behaviour. But while it inspires care and protection in personal relationships, it has the opposite effect in the wider world. As the latest research in psychology and neuroscience shows, we feel empathy most for those we find attractive and who seem similar to us and not at all for those who are different, distant or anonymous. Empathy therefore biases us in favour of individuals we know while numbing us to the plight of thousands. Guiding us expertly through the experiments, case studies and arguments on all sides, Paul Bloom ultimately shows that some of our worst decisions – in charity, child-raising, criminal justice, climate change and war – are motivated by this wolf in sheep's clothing.
Brilliantly argued, urgent and humane, Against Empathy overturns widely held assumptions to reveal one of the most profound yet overlooked sources of human conflict. It demonstrates with absolute clarity that, when faced with moral decisions, we must choose reason and compassion, not empathy, as our guides.

這本書一直論證著一個主題:共情是不好的,我們應該擺脫它。 看瞭全文,不外乎全是反駁共情的好處,隻在末尾寫瞭一段話,說它確實有好的地方。但是,我被這段話說服瞭,挺厲害精準。 我們一直渴望以他人的視角去看世界,我們養孩子就像自己又活瞭一次。作為一個凡人,也許不能夠...
評分個人的一點拙見。 作者的理論可以應用到網絡暴力上 他的理論充分證明瞭一個事情:為什麼微博總是烏煙瘴氣和陽光明媚兩極分化非常嚴重。其實可以從情緒共情的角度進行觀察。 大量的媒體撰寫煽動性的故事與語言讓陌生群眾的共情被調動,於是網絡暴力産生。 但真相卻往往相反,這...
評分我以為這本書會對「共情泛濫對個人和社會的害處」做齣一番有見地的論述,看瞭五分之一後就實在不想浪費這個時間瞭。 倒也不是說他說的沒有道理,就是都是廢話,看瞭會有種「這誰不知道呢」的感覺。 這書把目前已經有不少人在討論和做改變的「公眾更關注當下有話題性的事件忽略...
評分文/徐諶輝 共情能力似乎是一個非常男的優秀品質。這是一種能力,能讓我們以他人的視角體驗這個世界,感受他人的感受。而本書《擺脫共情》,卻佷有意思,從多個角度批判共情,比如社會,情感,等等。首先,本書認為情緒共情和認知共情是兩件事。而我難以理解的那種情緒泛濫,在...
評分在日常生活中,我確實會有一些關於共情上麵的睏惑。即朋友在嚮我講述自身的遭遇時,我不是很清楚自己到底要站在什麼立場上來發錶自己的言論。但是有一點很明確就是很少共情,我大多數是站在局外人的角度講述利弊,當然這也會帶來偶爾的無奈。相比較之下當我自己站在事件講述者...
