Since empathy first emerged as an object of inquiry within British history education in the early 1970s, teachers, scholars and policymakers have debated the concepts role in the teaching and learning of history. Yet over the years this discussion has been confined to specialized education outlets, while empathys broader significance for history and philosophy has too often gone unnoticed. Empathy and History is the first comprehensive account of empathys place in the practice, teaching, and philosophy of history. Beginning with the concepts roots in nineteenth-century German historicism, the book follows its historical development, transformation, and deployment while revealing its relevance for practitioners today.
