  abstract = {Jewish philosophers Edith Stein and Simone Weil distinguish such an emotional transference from genuine empathy, which involves a different, ethical stance and a saintly imitation. Empathy for the afflicted individual, in fact, makes one immune to the contagion that too often results in scapegoating. Among contemporary thinkers, arguably no one has better explained the scandalous contagion of evil than scholar RenéGirard. Among twentieth-century philosophers, none has addressed the questions of saintly empathy with a profundity to match that of Stein and Simone Weil, two women mystics, at once Jews and Christians, whose lives were marked by an extraordinary compassion for others, both of whom died prematurely in the violent tide of the Shoah.},
