Compassion is a word we use frequently - but rarely precisely. One reason we lack a philosophically precise understanding of compassion is that moral philosophers give it virtually no attention. Indeed, in the predominant ethical traditions of the West (deontology, consequentialism, virtue ethics),...

520 |a Compassion is a word we use frequently - but rarely precisely. One reason we lack a philosophically precise understanding of compassion is that moral philosophers give it virtually no attention. Indeed, in the predominant ethical traditions of the West (deontology, consequentialism, virtue ethics), compassion tends to be either passed over without remark or explicitly dismissed as irrelevant. And yet in the predominant ethical traditions of Asia, compassion is centrally important: All else revolves around it. This is clearly the case in Buddhist ethics, and compassion plays a similarly indispensable role in Confucian and Daoist ethics. In this book, the author seeks to explain why compassion plays such a substantial role in the moral philosophies of East Asia and an insignificant one in those of Europe and the West.
