The origins of this book probably go back to Gordon Allport's
seminar in social psychology at Harvard during the late 1940s and
to the invitation from Gardner Lindzey, some years later, to
contribute a section on "Sympathy and Empathy" to the International
Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences (1968). Since those early
beginnings, the book has been "in the process of becoming. " During
that time I have benefited greatly from the knowledge and
assistance of many colleagues, especially the following, who read
and commented upon portions of the manuscript: Raymond Gastil, the
late Joseph Katz, David McClelland, Jitendra Mohanty, Paul Mussen,
Richard Solomon, and Bernard Weiner. To Kenneth Merrill for a close
reading of the Hume material and to M. Brewster Smith for a careful
reading of and suggestions on Chapters 7 and 8, I am especially
indebted. Beverly Joyce withstood constant interruptions to provide
much-needed library assistance, and Vivian Wheeler gave generously
of her excellent editorial experience and knowledge. A fellowship
at the Battelle Research Center in Seattle and an appointment as a
visiting scholar at Harvard were of incalculable help, providing
opportunity, stimulation, and freedom from teaching
responsibilities. To all of the above I am deeply indebted. Just a
few words about the organization of this book.
