Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a rare insight into the early development of humane societies and their association with the broader phenomenon of the Enlightenment. The author, a revered intellectual of his day, discusses the basis of moral obligation and the ethical imperatives that gave rise to societies dedicated to preventing needless loss of life. His thesis is that the capacity for and exercise of compassionate behavior toward strangers is dependent on the perception of equal value among individuals. He draws on compelling examples from the field to illustrate both the dangers and transformative power of embracing empathy, while providing a rich and detailed historical context for the development of these life-saving associations. Ultimately, this book is a thought-provoking meditation on the power of interpersonal compassion and the impact of viewing and treating each other as equals. Its insights remain compelling and urgent in our present time.
