Thought and Empathy

My panel is about thought and empathy. Descartes declared “I think, therefore I am” and this is partially the answer to what it means to be human. However, I believe it is one step further than thinking. The most basic human phenomenon is empathy, the ability to place yourself in another one’s shoes. Some would argue that this is never truly possible, but man’s attempt to do so is still valiant. That is why for my panel I chose to show a human assuming the roles of the characters he reads in novels, depicting the very act we’ve done in literature class.
