Historical Empathy

Historical Empathy is a construct in history education that entails the cognitive and affective ability to understand past actors’ perspectives, decisions, and experiences within their specific historical contexts, distinguishing it from present-minded moral judgment or general empathy by its emphasis on context-bound, evidence-based historical understanding.
