Abstract

We have now achieved an essential description of the empathic act and a critique of historical theories of foreign consciousness from the point of view of our description. We still have a far greater undertaking before us. We must treat empathy as a problem of constitution and answer the question of how the objects in the usual theories, such as the psycho-physical individual, personality, etc., arise within consciousness.
