Center for Advanced Studies (CAS) Research Focus Moral Behavior (LMU) - HD Empathy and First PersonalAdam Smith has claimed that imagination is necessary for empathy, in the sense that we identify with the person we are empathising with. But such imagination could take other forms, like simulating the other person's feelings.

She argues that empathic imagining is a de se attitude that involves an imaginative self-ascription of the other person's properties. | Rae Langton ist Professorin für Philosophie an der Universität Cambridge

We sometimes also - for instance - promise, name, refuse, or order: in short, our speech sometimes acts.And that has prompted a great deal of philosophical debate over when speech acts are successfully performed, and whether that depends on the effects on the audience. This might sound like an esoteric matter, but philosophers think...
