Description
Intellectual Empathy provides a step-by-step method for facilitating discussions of socially divisive issues. Maureen Linker, a
philosophy professor at the University of MichiganuDearborn, developed Intellectual Empathy after more than a decade of
teaching critical thinking in metropolitan Detroit, one of the most racially and economically divided urban areas, at the
crossroads of one of the MidwestAEs largest Muslim communities. The skills acquired through Intellectual Empathy have
proven to be significant for students who pursue careers in education, social work, law, business, and medicine. Now, Linker
shows educators, activists, business managers, community leaders - anyone working toward fruitful dialogues about social
differences - how potentially transformative conversations break down and how they can be repaired. Starting from
SocratesAEs injunction know thyself, Linker explains why interrogating our own beliefs is essential. In contrast to traditional
approaches in logic that devalue emotion, Linker acknowledges the affective aspects of reasoning and how emotion is
embedded in our understanding of self and other. Using examples fromclassroom dialogues, online comment forums, news
media, and diversity training workshops, readers learn to recognize logical fallacies and critically, yet empathically, assess
their own social biases, as well as the structural inequalities that perpetuate social injustice and divide us from each other.
