“The Architecture of Social Sensitivity”

Elisa Magrì’s current project, The Architecture of Social Sensitivity, is dedicated to exploring the concept of social sensitivity in both contemporary phenomenological philosophy and philosophy of mind and emotions. Most notably, her research investigates the relation between attentiveness and dispositions as well as the role of habit in shaping socially sensitive attitudes. One of the main outputs of this project is to uncover the ethical implications of empathy with particular regard to the relation between empathy and respect.
