Yes but it all comes down to defining empathy as something other than 'understanding how people feel on an emotional level.'

Yes, he's defining empathy in an narrower sense than it is often used.

He may have good reasons for this & reveal something important but my issue is with losing the word & having nothing to replace it.

In conversations online. I tend to talk abt talking, finding common ground, understanding ppl, being charitable but also critical.

In short, I talk a lot abt trying to understand other people's motivations & feelings & then working with them to resolve things.

This is empathy first, really getting it, and then trying to work out how to find solutions using principles & reason.

Yes, a fair point. But I'm sure Bloom wouldn't call this empathy.

And because he doesn't (I suspect) others don't either and disparage it & there isn't a replacement & I can't talk abt talking.

Its a practical problem for me & still a minor one but its ended enough conversations now that I'm having a moan.
