Abstract
AbstractIn the chapter ‘Anti-empathism: Paul Bloom’, the author offers a description and an in-depth analysis of the criticisms made to empathy by Paul Bloom, trying to follow the structure Bloom gave to his critiques in his 2016 book about empathy and examining in which sense it is possible to affirm—as Bloom does—that empathy acts as a spotlight, that has many biases and that is corrosive.
