- Title
ON EMPATHY IN JUDGMENT (MEASURE FOR MEASURE).
- Authors
Yoshino, Kenji
- Abstract
The article focuses on the play "Measure for Measure," by William Shakespeare which depicts contemporary conversations about judging. The author discusses the three conceptions of a judging, such as one that values empathy to much, one that errs in the opposite direction and one that realizes that the process is a good deal messier. He relates these three models with the play's three senses like the Christian sense coming from the Sermon on the Mount, the Old Testament ethic of commensurability and the other one from antiquity. Furthermore, it emphasizes the role of the play's characters including Angelo, the deputy of the Duke of Vienna, who presents distinction between God's justice and human justice.
