The Enlightenment of Sympathy: Justice and the Moral Sentiments in the Eighteenth Century and Today
Frazer, Michael L. (Assistant Professor of Government and Social Studies, Assistant Professor of Government and Social Studies, Harvard University)
The Enlightenment of Sympathy reclaims the sentimentalist theory of reflective autonomy as a resource for enriching social science, normative theory, and political practice today. The sentimentalist description of the reflective process is more empirically accurate than the competing rationalist description, and can guide scientists investigating the processes by which the mind formulates moral and political principles. Yet the theory is much more thanmerely descriptive, and can also contribute to the philosophical project of finding principles-including principles of justice-that wield genuine normative authority. Enlightenment sentimentalism demonstrates that emotion is necessarily central to our civic life, and shows how our reflective sentiments cancounterbalance the unreflective feelings that might otherwise lead our political principles astray.
