Brilliant Piece on Empathy by the Ever-Engaging Paul Bloom

here.

I can't wait for the book.

Bloom argues against giving empathy a central role in normative moral psychology. But by defining "empathy" somewhat narrowly, he perhaps makes his thesis a little easier to defend, and less radical, than if he were to come out against strong feelings of compassion generally.
