The recent discovery of mirror neurons, which fire in a macaque monkey when the monkey either observes or performs a given movement, has ushered in a resurgence of interest in the meanings and mechanisms of empathy. The purported role of these neurons in empathic responses in monkeys and humans has led to an array of neuroscientific studies of cognition and autism.
Addressing themes of gender, race, sexuality, public policy, politics, social justice, science, technology, medical experimentation, and the environment.
