Empathy: A History tells the fascinating and largely unknown story of the first appearance of “empathy” in 1908 and tracks its shifting meanings over the following century. Despite empathy’s ubiquity today, few realize that it began as a translation of Einfühlung or “in-feeling” in German psychological aesthetics that described how spectators projected their own feelings and movements into objects of art and nature. Remarkably, this early conception of empathy transformed into its opposite over the ensuing decades.

Empathy has become a cliché of contemporary politics, often espoused but rarely understood. Yet the capacity to understand other worldviews is neither easy nor comfortable. Seeing through others’ eyes requires strength, courage, integrity, and an ability to reason across the harshest political divides—and, in a time of heightened marginalization, disconnection, and polarization, empathy in our leaders and across society is vitally important.

Militant Empathy is a long-form podcast, where each episode tries to grapple with one big issue, like: why do we think about sex the way that we do? What does "justice" mean? Where did borders come from? What the fuck is mental health anyway? I pull on history, philosophy and general political science to shape each episode but the most important thing for me is always to make sure that somebody with absolutely zero subject matter expertise could still understand what I'm talking about. I truly believe that if you cannot explain something well to somebody who doesn't know your field, you do not...

We have an unspoken core value that we live life through a lens of empathy. Empathy for each other, empathy for ourselves, and empathy for those around us. We strive to see through another's eyes and experience. Empathy is weightless, it's healing, it's freedom. This is where we find common ground. We believe healing is found when we find the willingness to walk in someone else's shoes. We don't have to be good at it. The magic is in the willingness. We are willing. Lets jam.
