“Contributions to the Study of Husserl’s Empathy Theory in his Posthumous Texts”. This is a study about the development of Edmund Husserl’s empathy theory. It seeks to reconstruct two of the main milestones regarding the reflections on empathy as an intentional apprehensive experience of an alien subjectivity, from an interpretation of posthumous texts on intersubjectivity edited by Iso Kern in 1973 in volumes XIII, XIV and XV of Husserliana. The first milestone is the discussion from the early 1900s Husserl engages with, on the one hand, in relation to the theory of inference by analogy of Benno Erdmann - originally formulated by John Sturart Mill - and, on the other hand, in relation to the theory of empathy as an instinct of imitation and expression of Theodor Lipps. The second is the reworking of the concept of empathy based on genetic phenomenology and the discovery of passi...

Procura reconstruir dos de los hitos principales de las reflexiones sobre la empatía en cuanto que vivencia intencional aprehensora de una subjetividad ajena, a partir de una interpretación de textos póstumos sobre la intersubjetividad editados por Iso Kern en 1973 en los volúmenes XIII, XIV y XV de Husserliana. El primer hito es la discusión que a comienzos del 1900 Husserl entabla con, por un lado, la teoría de la inferencia por analogía de Benno Erdmann –formulada originalmente por John Stuart Mill– y, por el otro, la teoría de la empatía como instinto de imitación y expresión de Theodor Lipps. El segundo es la reelaboración del concepto de empatía a partir de la fenomenología genética y el descubrimiento de síntesis pasivas a la base de los actos cogitativos del ...
