The argument is: Empathy (...Ok, I get your point. <br /><br />The argument is: Empathy (and self-sacrifice) can evolve in a species due to the fact it promotes a group (and therefore: the species) survival.<br /><br />So, indirectly, through a species' fitness. Justice drives the evolution of empathy. <br /><br />I agree it is most likely true that an individual cannot feel satisfaction from justice before he can feel empathy.<br /><br />Although the notion would seem reversed from the perspective of an individual, we started by stating justice does not apply in such a context, and we must then use a new concept for the <i>feeling of satisfaction though the search / achievement of justice</i>.<br /><br />This feeling would seem, then, to be born from empathy, self-sacrifice and an understanding of a group and its well-being. The care for <i>all</i> others, if you will: what is <i>right</i>.Rodolfo Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14989851961295766496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7642103.post-21565396828067949172009-12-31T10:31:40.785-04:002009-12-31T10:31:40.785-04:00should'nt it be the other way around with empa...should'nt it be the other way around with empathy?<br />Out of empathy grows a sense of justice?<br />im not sure im sold on the concept of justice as a "higher" concept than empathy.Ruben Llibrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12013932630134204296noreply@blogger.com
