Phenomenology, empathy, and mindreading

Description	One of the controversies in the empathy debate concerns the role that empathy plays in social cognition. Whereas some have argued that mindreading is an extended form of empathy, and that empathy "is relevant when accounting for all aspects of behaviour enabling us to establish a meaningful link between others and ourselves". One significant problem with the widespread suggestion that empathy involves a sharing of affects is that people rarely define what they mean by sharing. It is no coincidence that some of the recent work on phenomenology of empathy has been presented in the framework of the direct social perception debate. On the phenomenological reading, empathy doesn't involve sharing, but nor is it merely just any kind of mindreading. Empathy is rather a form of "expressive understanding" that requires bodily proximity, and which allows for a distinct experiential grasp of and access to the other's psychological life.
