Yet isn't giving such significance to empathy basically creating a sort of moral principle?

People want to separate morality from the cognitive act of putting themselves in other people's shoes because they are cognitive misers. Abstract moral principles are an attempt by cognitive misers to escape the duty to perform cognitive labor.

I agree. Abstract moral principles are empty forms - yet truly moral behavior, at the end of the day, is all about the concrete particulars.
