Resumen

El artículo comienza analizando el estado actual del debate en Filosofía de la Biología sobre el establecimiento de la empatía como objeto del conocimiento científico. A partir de esta premisa, reflexiona acerca de los límites de la empatía en la configuración de la conducta humana planteando ciertos argumentos conducentes a una revisión del equilibrio de fuerzas en el debate entre el altruismo biológico y el egoísmo ontológico. Finalmente, propone la posibilidad de afirmar la existencia de nexos científicamente demostrables entre la aptitud para la empatía y la idea de justicia.
