Compassion is not a simple sentiment, especially in the modern
world. Today the term invokes ideas of individual and collective
obligation to respond actively to suffering; compassion becomes a
complex response involving the state, the military, economic
factors, and of course ethical and moral issues.
In "Compassion," ten scholars draw on literature, psychoanalysis,
and social history to provide an archive of cases and genealogies
of compassion. Together these essays demonstrate how "being
compassionate" is shaped by historical specificity and social
training, and how the idea of compassion takes place in scenes that
are anxious, volatile, surprising, and even contradictory.
