Ramin Jahanbegloo develops the concept of compassion as a practical
and ethical response to the problems of today’s world. Examining
the power of compassion through the lens of multiple world
religions, he explores ahimsa in Buddhism, Jainism and Hinduism and
neighbourly love in Christianity, before synthesizing the two
concepts in the Gandhian theory of non-violence and its impact on
Muslim and Christian thinkers such as Abdul Ghaffar Khan and Martin
Luther King, Jr. Jahanbegloo considers the idea of a compassionate
civilization based on the nonviolent democratic theory put forward
by Gandhi with Swaraj, and completed by Martin Luther King, Jr.
with the Beloved Community. By scrutinizing compassion in various
religious and ethical traditions and exploring the relevance of
homo fragilis, Jahanbegloo’s comparative approach enriches our
understanding of nonviolence as a universal philosophy and practice
for the 21st century. He shows that nonviolence is not only a mode
of thinking and a way of life, but also a powerful strategy of
social and political transformation.
