empathy, sympathy, mirror neurons, mindreading, free will, freempathyAbstract
At the base of concise considerations about what it means empathy and cognitive empathy, this work would like to provide an alternative way, maybe a new one, concerning the understanding of this phenomenon. The central issue linked at the cognitive aspect of empathy is its potential epistemic use and if this represents a valid scientific knowledge; la quaestio is if the way of approaching other minds is the same used for any other knowledge or it has aspects and different structural peculiarities, maybe, together with the metaphysic problem of choice, the free will.
