In a divided world, empathy is not the solution, it is the problem. We think of empathy – the ability to feel the suffering of others for ourselves – as the ultimate source of all good behaviour. But while it inspires care and protection in personal relationships, it has the opposite effect in the wider world. As the latest research in psychology and neuroscience shows, we feel empathy most for those we find attractive and who seem similar to us and not at all for those who are different, distant or anonymous. Empathy therefore biases us in favour of individuals we know while numbing us to the plight of thousands. Guiding us expertly through the experiments, case studies and arguments on all sides, Paul Bloom ultimately shows that some of our worst decisions – in charity, child-raising, criminal justice, climate change and war – are motivated by this wolf in sheep's clothing. Brilliantly argued, urgent and humane, Against Empathy overturns widely held assumptions to reveal one of the most profound yet overlooked sources of human conflict.

Arguably our brain's greatest sense is the ability to understand the minds of others - our sixth sense. In Mindwise, renowned psychologist Nicholas Epley shows that this incredible capacity for inferring what others are thinking and feeling is, however sophisticated, still prone to critical errors. We often misread social situations, misjudge others' characters, or guess the wrong motives for their actions. Drawing on the latest in psychological research, Epley suggests that only by learning more about our sixth sense will we have the humility to overcome these errors and understand others as they actually are instead of as we imagine them to be.

From the winner of the PEN/Malamud Award for Excellence and “one of our most gifted writers” (Chicago Tribune), Saul and Patsy is "stunning, never predictable, glimmering fiction, full of mischief and insight" (The Los Angeles Times). Five Oaks, Michigan is not exactly where Saul and Patsy meant to end up. Both from the East Coast, they met in college, fell in love, and settled down to married life in the Midwest. Saul is Jewish and a compulsively inventive worrier; Patsy is gentile and cheerfully pragmatic. On Saul’s initiative (and to his continual dismay) they have moved to this small town–a place so devoid of irony as to be virtually “a museum of earlier American feelings”–where he has taken a job teaching high school. Soon this brainy and guiltily happy couple will find children have become a part of their lives, first their own baby daughter and then an unloved, unlovable boy named Gordy Himmelman. It is Gordy who will throw Saul and Patsy’s lives into disarray with an inscrutable act of violence. As timely as a news flash yet informed by an immemorial understanding of human character, Saul and Patsy is a genuine miracle.

This book is about discovering, understanding, and using the 5 Thinking Positions (5TP) in order to develop and increase your skill of perspective taking. Perspective taking is learning the skill of looking at difficult issues from various points of view instead of from only one predominate point of view. Perspective taking allows you to understand people, places, and things from different points of view and thereby expands your horizons and insights. The 5 Thinking Positions (5TP) teaches an easy and effective method for practicing perspective taking. Using a model of five boxes, columns, lists, or positions, you learn how to easily and quickly develop five perspectives on any concern, issue, problem, or topic. The five positions, boxes, or columns remain constant, retaining their names and usage, making it is easy to plug in opposite, conciliatory, and balanced views into any 5TP diagram for any concern, issue, problem, or topic. Discovering different perspectives on or views of reality in one area often results in opening your mind to discovering different perspectives or views of reality in other areas. Persistently practicing perspective taking will lead to greater mental balance, flexibility, and openness, because perspective taking, using the 5TP, is yoga practice for the mind. And by having a more holistic grasp of the many sources of information available from using the 5 Thinking Positions (5TP) to improve your perspective-taking skill, you will also happily discover that your coping, creative, and problem-solving skills have also expanded and increased. Using the 5TP does not require you to change your mind, to alter your beliefs, or to accept other points of view. The 5TP does require you to recognize at least five points of view regarding any issue, problem, or topic. What you do with that understanding is entirely up to you. However, you might find that recognizing other sides and viewpoints helps you perform better as a boss, companion, leader, listener, and negotiator. The 5 Thinking Positions (5TP) will greatly increase your understanding of any issue, problem, or topic, especially if you initially see or think that there exists only one or two points of view. Such new understandings can go a long way to allowing you to find peaceful solutions to real-life problems. This book will first cover some of the advantages and disadvantages of duality and triality in order to prepare the reader to understand the distinct advantages of the 5 Thinking Positions (5TP) over duality and triality. Duality can be understood as an improvement over thinking everything is one-sided, because duality sees a two-sided reality. Triality can be understood as an improvement over thinking everything is two-sided, because triality see a three-sided reality. 5TP can be understood as an advance over thinking everything is three-sided, because 5TP sees a five-sided reality. The 5TP can be understood as the basic form of a continuum or as a form of continuum thinking instead of as another form of dualistic thinking. The purpose of using the 5TP is to identify how reality appears from different viewpoints, such as in the duality of the glass-half-empty vs. the glass-half-full scenario, which has no effect on how much water is objectively in the glass, just the perspective with which that water is viewed. Some possible viewpoints are: the glass is half full, the glass is half empty, the glass has room to add other ingredients, half full is more than enough, half full is too much, half full is too little, it is what it is. - Open your mind by practicing the 5TP. - Discover more viewpoints by practicing the 5TP. - Increase your creativeness by practicing the 5TP. - Improve your coping skills by practicing the 5TP. - Increase your understanding by practicing the 5TP. - Improve your ability to discover by practicing the 5TP. - Improve your problem-solving skills by practicing the 5TP.

This open access book – as the title suggests – explores some of the historical roots and epistemological ramifications of perspectivism. Perspectivism has recently emerged in philosophy of science as an interesting new position in the debate between scientific realism and anti-realism. But there is a lot more to perspectivism than discussions in philosophy of science so far have suggested. Perspectivism is a much broader view that emphasizes how our knowledge (in particular our scientific knowledge of nature) is situated; it is always from a human vantage point (as opposed to some Nagelian "view from nowhere"). This edited collection brings together a diverse team of established and early career scholars across a variety of fields (from the history of philosophy to epistemology and philosophy of science). The resulting nine essays trace some of the seminal ideas of perspectivism back to Kant, Nietzsche, the American Pragmatists, and Putnam, while the second part of the book tackles issues concerning the relation between perspectivism, relativism, and standpoint theories, and the implications of perspectivism for epistemological debates about veritism, epistemic normativity and the foundations of human knowledge.
