- Title
THE PHENOMENOLOGY OF SHARED FEELING.
- Authors
Krebbs, Angelika
- Abstract
When two parents mourn together the death of their beloved child what they feel for each other is not just empathy or compassion. Rather they participate in a shared feeling. This emotional sharing is not to be confused with emotional contagion or identification. It is also something other than conscious parallel feeling. German phenomenologist Max Scheler was the first to systematically introduce the category of shared feeling and to differentiate it from neighbouring phenomena. This article critically reconstructs Scheler's classical analysis and illustrates it with a literary example, Henry James' short story The Pupil.
