"Empathy and Anger in the Struggle Against Injustice" Most people who struggle against some particular case of injustice are energized to do so by emotional engagement with the victims or the perpetrators: empathy with the victims or anger at the perpetrators - or both. But almost always there are also people who are acquainted with the plight of victims but feel neither empathy with them nor anger at the perpetrators. Why is that? What blocks empathy and anger? What accounts for "hardening of the heart?" Nicholas Wolterstorff is the Noah Porter Professor Emeritus of Philosophical Theology at Yale University.
