Philosophy of Emotions: In his book A Language of Empathy (Tel Aviv University Press 2022), Lampert offers a comprehensive philosophical and historical analysis of the concept of empathy in its various theoretical manifestations. Lampert's analysis expands the classical phenomenological position, that identifies empathy with a direct perception of the mental states of others and adds to it caring as a necessary identifier. According to Lampert, the requirement for conceptualization that subordinates our perceptions to language and culture, "subverts" and weakens our ability to sense others, but at the same time allows for the formulation of an moral position, which Lampert identifies with the Ethics of care.
