Abstract

Nietzsche is not known for his theory of empathy. A quick skimming of the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry on empathy demonstrates this. Arthur Schopenhauer, Robert Vischer, and Theodor Lipps are among those whose views are considered representative, but Nietzsche has been simply forgotten in discussion of empathy. Nietzsche’s theory of empathy has not yet aroused sufficient interest among commentators. I believe that his views on this subject merit careful consideration. Nietzsche scholars have been interested in his naturalistic accounts of other phenomena, but there seems to be relatively limited interest in his naturalistic account of a phenomenon that is so central to his disagreement with Schopenhauer, namely, empathic concern for others. This is surprising because Nietzsche makes a valuable contribution; he has views more in keeping with contemporary theories of empathy than others of his time. My goal here is to fill in this gap in the scholarship and provide the first thorough analysis of Nietzsche’s theory of empathy, which appears most clearly in Dawn.

摘要

尼采并不以他的同理心理论而闻名。斯坦福哲学百科全书快速浏览进入同理心就证明了这一点。亚瑟·叔本华、罗伯特·维舍尔和西奥多·利普斯的观点被认为具有代表性，但尼采在讨论同理心时被简单地遗忘了。尼采的同理心理论尚未引起评论家足够的兴趣。我相信他对这个问题的看法值得仔细考虑。尼采学者一直对他对其他现象的自然主义描述感兴趣，但对他对一种现象的自然主义描述的兴趣似乎相对有限，这种现象是他与叔本华分歧的核心，即对他人的移情关注。这是令人惊讶的，因为尼采做出了宝贵的贡献；与同时代的其他人相比，他的观点更符合当代的同理心理论。黎明。
