Empathy dissolves the boundaries between self and others, and feelings of altruism towards others are activated. This process results in more compassionate and caring contexts, as well as helping others in times of suffering. This book provides evidence from neuroscience and quantum physics that it is empathy that connects humanity, and that this awareness can create a more just society. It extends interest in values-based management, exploring the intellectual, physical, ecological, spiritual and aesthetic well-being of organizations and society rather than the more common management principles of maximising profit and efficiency. This book challenges the existing paradigm of capitalism by providing scientific evidence and empirical data that empathy is the most important organizing mechanism. The book is unique in that it provides a comprehensive review of the transformational qualities of empathy in personal, organizational and local contexts. Integrating an understanding based upon scientific studies of why the fields of positive psychology and organizational scholarship are important, it examines the evidence from neuroscience and presents leading-edge studies from quantum physics with implications for the organizational field. Together the chapters in this book attempt to demonstrate how empathy helps in the reduction of human suffering and the creation of a more just society.

Empathie ist zum Modethema avanciert. Besonders im Bereich des Designs und des Managements wird sie zunehmend als professionelle Strategie und gleichzeitig moralische Kompetenz positioniert. Macht Empathie durch Design unsere Arbeitswelt also zu einem besseren Ort? Und was heißt es, Empathie programmatisch im Unternehmen einzuführen? Eva Köppen zeigt die überraschenden Effekte auf, die mit der Einführung von Empathie-geleiteten Arbeitsweisen wie Design Thinking einhergehen. Nicht nur mehr Freiräume, auch Frust, Dissonanzen sowie neue Kontrollstrukturen und Disziplinierungsformen sind die Konsequenzen. Die Autorin denkt die beiden Traditionen der Arbeits- und Emotionssoziologie zusammen, um die Bedeutung von Empathie als eines hoch aktuellen und kontrovers diskutierten Konzepts zu untersuchen. Durch eine Interviewstudie in einem IT-Unternehmen wird offenbart, welche Folgen Empathie-Anforderungen für Mitarbeiter und die Organisation haben. Dabei wird das aktuelle, positiv aufgeladene Bild von Empathie kritisch hinterfragt und die ambivalente Komplexität des Konstrukts aufgezeigt.

This work begins from our Socratic ignorance of empathy. It applies four philosophical methods - phenomenology, self psychology, language analysis, and interpretive suspicion (hermeneutics) to generating a clearing for empathy as authentic being with one another in community.

In recent decades, empathy research has blossomed into a vibrant and multidisciplinary field of study. This text collects cross-disciplinary, cutting-edge work on human empathy from the perspectives of social, cognitive, developmental and clinical psychology and cognitive/affective neuroscience
