Abstract
Connecting to others, knowing others, and collaborating with others
for making society better driven by an endless empathy for others constitute the
core of social life and the essence of social science knowledge. This paper explores
the significance of empathy in conceptualizing everyday life in three ways: (1)
as a method to fieldwork, (2) as a method to sociological knowledge, and (3) as
a method to organize and live everyday life. The central argument of the paper is
that a detached approach, bereft of empathy, to sociology and life is not only
impracticable but also undesirable.
