Description

Compassion is widely regarded as an important moral emotion - a fitting response to various cases of suffering and misfortune. Yet contemporary theorists have rarely given it sustained attention. This volume aims to fill this gap by offering answers to a number of questions surrounding this emotion. These questions include: What is the nature of compassion? How does compassion differ from other emotions, such as empathy, pity, or gratitude? Is compassion a virtue? Can we have too much compassion? How does compassion influence other mental states (desires, motivations, beliefs, and intentions) and behaviour? How is compassion influenced by the environment? Must compassion be deserved? Can one be moral while lacking the capacity for compassion? Compassion, like other emotions, has many facets - biological, social, psychological and neural, among others. The contributors to this volume will draw on a variety of disciplines and methods in order to develop a more systematic and comprehensive understanding of this often-neglected moral emotion. Review Drawing on a variety of philosophical traditions and approaches, The Moral Psychology of Compassion is a valuable contribution to the literature on this important part of our moral lives. The volume contains essays exploring compassion's significance and utility for a variety of contemporary moral problems and philosophical debates, and will be of use to both scholars and students of moral psychology, applied ethics, and the history of moral philosophy.--Alexandra Plakias, Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Hamilton College This is probably the most interesting and extensive collection of essays on compassion that I have seen. Chapters by well-known philosophers as well as interesting new voices are featured, and include treatments of compassionate motivation, compassion from a Buddhist perspective, compassion and practical reason, and applications of compassion in practical domains, such as health care, mental health care, and our relations with animals. It is enlightening as well as thought-provoking, and is a "must-read" for anyone who wishes to plumb the depths of compassion's complexities.--Nancy E. Snow, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Oklahoma About the Author Justin Caouette is Lecturer in Philosophy at Northeastern and Bridgewater State University, Massachusetts. Carolyn Price is a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the Open University.
