What is the purpose of care? Saying that care deals with the flourishing of human beings may still be too generic. As I will develop below, I wish to suggest that care focuses on flourishing understood as re-birth, which takes place when one human being meets another. Care thus aims at the re-birth process that occurs in the encounter with the Other. I suggest that we should go beyond the category of “empathy” by shifting our focus to the concept of “emotional sharing”: my thesis is that empathy is a very particular case of the latter.

Abstract
What is the purpose of care? Saying that care deals with the flourishing of human beings may still be too generic. As I will develop below, I wish to suggest that care focuses on flourishing understood as re-birth, which takes place when one human being meets another. Care thus aims at the re-birth process that occurs in the encounter with the Other. I suggest that we should go beyond the category of “empathy” by shifting our focus to the concept of “emotional sharing”: my thesis is that empathy is a very particular case of the latter.
