I had a long disagreement about this with a friend on that medium best suited to in depth philosophical discussion, twitter, on this very point. If Tennyson thinks 'tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all', and then writes it down; such that I come along and read it and the thought goes into my head, then in a manner of speaking I am having Tennyson's thought. The fact that the thought if being processed in my brain tissue rather than in Tennyson's doesn't alter that.<br /><br />Try this analogy: if I take a CD and from it upload Windows 97 onto my desktop; and then take the same CD and load Windows 97 from it onto my laptop, then those two computers are running <i>the same</i> programme: not similar ones, but the same one.Adam Roberts Projecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10001572970456425902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-913609798232369293.post-75357417124845432012010-09-02T10:27:41.753-07:002010-09-02T10:27:41.753-07:00I agree with Tom.

Or are you having *your* thoughts based on am empirical (and hence potentially mistaken)assessment of what you take to be Kant's thoughts?<br /><br />Equally, maybe empathy just means I experience something empirically which I think means you're in pain.
