Throughout history, compassion has stood at the base of the radical
cry to change the world order and remedy injustices. It has also
been a political tool for society's power-wielders, who have
exploited the sense of calling compassion arouses to hide the
repressive, belligerent, and manipulative nature of society's power
structure. This book analyzes four models of compassion, each
representing manifestations of compassion in different cultures and
eras: Judeo-Christianity, Buddhism, Modernism, and the author's
alternative, a response to neocapitalist postmodernism-radical
compassion and its imperative to take action.
