What does it mean to “put yourself in another person’s shoes”? What personal qualities are necessary to be able to see things as someone else does?
The phrase means that to put yourself in that particular position as the person is, under what situation and circumstances he is and also how do you react, whether the reaction is the same or different. Some personal qualities would be to be one that has a different view from that person. As mentioned earlier in another blog post, people have 3 different mindsets, the Kantian, the Utilitarian and the Ethical Egoism. People have different mindsets, those having different mindsets will definitely result in different reactions to the same situation. Thus, it may offer a much more viable solution to the problem. The first two are more important, since they are positive and are done the way which will benefit people and are morally upright.
