«The Empathy Gap» is the psychology and social policy essay by J. D. Trout, published by Viking Adult in hardcover (320 pages, in English).
J. D. Trout, philosopher and cognitive scientist, argues that empathy is an admirable but unreliable impulse for guiding public policy. Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral economics, he proposes combining it with rationality and outlines pragmatic solutions that avoid cognitive biases and improve social welfare.
The full title includes the subtitle Building Bridges to the Good Life and the Good Society; the work was originally published in 2009.
It is aimed at a general audience interested in psychology, sociology, and the design of public policy.
