Workshop on Empathy and the Arts

Do works of art provide insights into the lives of others in ways that increase our empathic skills and understanding? Is the provision of empathic understanding an artistic value? Is the promotion of empathy something we should strive for? These are among the questions to be discussed by our distinguished speakers. The workshop marks a visit to us by Jenefer Robinson, Honorary Professor in Philosophy at York.
