| Summary: | The essay aims to compare the notion of empathy in Vilém Flusser's viewpoint to the praxiological model of communication, developed by Louis Quéré. Such definitions are identified here from some perspectives that focus on the importance of intersubjectivity, the interaction between subjects as well as the process of building the individual by leaning towards the otherness. To do so, we use these two theorists, from different schools and timeframes, in order to understand how a “theory of empathy” can be managed as a theoretical framework that may contribute to the praxiological model of communication. We conclude that, despite conceptual differences, both theorists see the amalgamation of human experience in the relationship with the otherness and within intersubjectivity. |
