There is a silence that is killing us. Millions are impacted by rape and sexual violence and are plagued with struggles they can't talk about. The time is now to start the healing and Redeem the Silence.

""Redeem the Silence is a powerful expose on the subject of rape in the 21st century. With stories that are raw and riveting, the dialogue tears at one's emotions. A subject that is almost overpowering, it is almost unspeakable. But that is the point of Sherrill's book: the subject of rape must not be unspeakable because it happens every day while our silence protects the guilty and torments the victims. Sherrill Nielsen tells the truth about sexual violation and blow s the cover off cultural taboos." " JIM COFFARO, Senior Pastor at New Song Foursquare Church, San Jose, CA

Empathy has for a long time, at least since the eighteenth century, been seen as centrally important in relation to our capacity to gain a grasp of the content of other people's minds, and predict and explain what they will think, feel, and do; and in relation to our capacity to respond to others ethically. In addition, empathy is seen as having a central role in aesthetics, in the understanding of our engagement with works of art and with fictional characters. A fuller understanding of empathy is now offered by the interaction of research in science and the humanities. Empathy: Philosophical and Psychological Perspectives draws together nineteen original chapters by leading researchers across several disciplines, together with an extensive Introduction by the editors. The individual chapters reveal how important it is, in a wide range of fields of enquiry, to bring to bear an understanding of the role of empathy in its various guises. This volume offers the ideal starting-point for the exploration of this intriguing aspect of human life.

This volume offers a much needed shift of focus in the study of emotion in the history of philosophy. Discussion has tended to focus on the moral relevance of emotions, and (except in ancient philosophy) the role of emotions in cognitive life has received little attention. Thirteen new essays investigate the continuities between medieval and early modern thinking about the emotions, and open up a contemporary debate on the relationship between emotions, cognition, and reason, and the way emotions figure in our own cognitive lives. A team of leading philosophers of the medieval, renaissance, and early modern periods explore these ideas from the point of view of four key themes: the situation of emotions within the human mind; the intentionality of emotions and their role in cognition; emotions and action; the role of emotion in self-understanding and the social situation of individuals.
