In the last twenty years, empathy appears to have become the key to studying the relationship between the sciences, new technologies, philosophy, aesthetics, ethics and politics. Often referred to by Obama – We need to stand in somebody else’s shoes – empathy appears to “hit the mark” in summarizing a social vocation and, in particular, a way of sharing another person’s feelings, combining the different dimensions of being human, such as the emotional, cognitive and behavioral ones, together with the ethical and social ones.
