Empathy (from Greek εμπάθεια
meaning "physical attraction") is defined as a complex affective and
cognitive response to the emotional distress of others. Empathy includes the
ability to feel the emotional state of others, feel sympathetic and try to
solve problems, and take the perspective of others. The word Empathy in English
(Empathy) was discovered in 1909 by E.B. Titchener in an attempt to translate
the German word "Einfühlungsvermögen", a new phenomenon explored by
Theodor Lipps in the late 19th century. After that, it was translated back into
German as "Empathie" and used there.
