Feeling and Understanding. The Role of Empathic Emotions in Understanding Persons and Literature

该网络的目标是从哲学、文学研究和神经心理学的角度研究移情，特别是移情情感在理解他人和文学方面的作用。我们的目标是进一步回答理解他人和文学是否是带有情感成分的过程的问题。为了实现这些目标，该网络有一个系统的定位，并辅之以历史的重点。历史分析将解决19世纪末20世纪初“恩富隆”的解释学和美学传统中对论文的系统问题。这样，在很大程度上被忽视的理论立场将受到新的系统审查，并可用于当前的辩论。

The goal of the network is to investigate the role of empathy, and of empathic emotions in particular, in understanding other persons and literature from the perspectives of philosophy, literary studies and neuropsychology. We aim further to answer the question of whether understanding other persons and literature are processes with affective components. In order to reach these goals, the network has a systematic orientation, supplemented by a historical focus. The historical analyses will address the systematic questions to treatises in the late 19th- and early 20th-century tradition of the hermeneutics and aesthetics of 'Einfühlung'. In this way, largely neglected theoretical positions will be subject to new levels of systematic scrutiny and made available for current debates.
