这是对杰西·普林茨和保罗·布鲁姆对同理心道德重要性的怀疑的回应。它承认，同理心会自发地偏向于时空上接近的个体，并且在其他方面具有歧视性，并且无法容纳大量个体。但有人认为，我们可以通过理性的指导来部分纠正同理心的这些缺点，因为对他人的同理心在于想象他们的感受，而且重要的是，这种想象行为可以是自愿的——因此，在反思的影响下——也可以是自动的。由于对他人的同情会激发对他们福利的关心，经过反思的合理的同情将导致同样合理的利他主义关注。此外，我们认为这种关注支持另一种核心道德态度，即正义感或公平感。
This is a reply to Jesse Prinz and Paul Bloom’s skepticism about the moral importance of empathy. It concedes that empathy is spontaneously biased to individuals who are spatio-temporally close, as well as discriminatory in other ways, and incapable of accommodating large numbers of individuals. But it is argued that we could partly correct these shortcomings of empathy by a guidance of reason because empathy for others consists in imagining what they feel, and, importantly, such acts of imagination can be voluntary – and, thus, under the influence of reflection – as well as automatic. Since empathizing with others motivates concern for their welfare, a reflectively justified empathy will lead to a likewise justified altruistic concern. In addition, we argue that such concern supports another central moral attitude, namely a sense of justice or fairness.
