Experts
This is a growing list of 'experts' in the area
of empathy. I would like to interview as many of these experts as possible for
my documentary. These are people that are doing academic, social and scientific
work or have written books, etc. on the theme. The real experts are, of course,
the people in every day life that manifest empathy in their personal lives.
Let me
know if there's someone I should add. Also, who is the most empathic person
you know, I'd like to interview them.

"I'm a dramatist who is interested in people, and I have empathy for Bush
as a human being, much the same as I did for Castro, Nixon, Jim Morrison,
Jim Garrison and Alexander the Great. "
"I think there's a confusion between sympathy and empathy. Empathy means
understanding, and as a dramatist it's my job to understand, to walk in
the shoes of George W. Bush as best as I can."
"You cannot approach history unless you have empathy for the person you
may hate" |

Burning Questions
The essence of love and compassion is understanding,
the ability to recognize the physical, material, and psychological
suffering of others, to put ourselves "inside the skin" of the other.
We "go inside" their body, feelings, and mental formations, and witness
for ourselves their suffering. Shallow observation as an outsider is not
enough to see their suffering. We must become one with the subject of our
observation. When we are in contact with another's suffering, a feeling of
compassion is born in us. Compassion means, literally, "to suffer with." |

Reich: The new economy depends upon relational skills and
empathy. I hate to generalize, but women clearly have the edge.
Boyden: Would you say women have an advantage because of their empathy,
relationship skills, and better instincts?
Reich: Absolutely. |
