Dec 5 2011: Indeed, so many philosophers explored about empathy in their philosophy. For example, Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche made Zarathustra murder God to restore human beings their ability to understand and respect their and other's emotion. MingZu in ancient China also described Empathy as human dignity and specified the quality into four categories.
Likewise, numerous philosophers discussed about empathy in their works. If we can collect those ideas of empathy in philosophy, we will be able to approach to philosophy from different perspective to which can people make easier access to philosophy. I would like to label the study as Empathic Philosophy.
