摘要

Illnesses lead to impairments in physical experience and limitations in self-perception and perception of others. Affective responsiveness, understood as the ability to perceive emotional signals and respond appropriately to them, forms an integrative bridge between neurological dysfunction and social resonance. Empathy, understood as a fundamental human capacity, enables us to empathise with others and consciously shape relationships. This article differentiates between cognitive and emotional empathy, examines their neurobiological foundations and links them to concepts of Chinese medicine. The integration of Western neuroscience with Eastern philosophy leads to a holistic understanding of affective responsiveness. This results in a plea for an integrative perspective in research, clinical practice, and society [1113].
