There is little doubt that sympathy plays a pivotal role in
aesthetic as well as moral experience, yet also little agreement on
how to describe this connection and its long history. This volume
investigates the changes in the concept of sympathy as well as its
rhetorical, poetical and ethical functions from antiquity to the
threshold of Romanticism. The focus is on sympathy's development
from a cosmological principle expressing the coherence,
correspondence, and unity of all things into a theoretical key
concept of intersubjectivity informing moral philosophy, criticism
and literature. Thus, Sympathy in Transformation offers important
insights into the many ways in which, when sympathy migrates into
diverse discourses in Early Modernity, its ancient origins dwindle
out of sight, while some of its central elements re-emerge in a
surprising manner.
