About the book

"This book analyses four theoretical models, each representing a type of compassion manifest in different cultures and periods. The book examines the presence of these models in the underlying infrastructure of religion or culture, or as part of the ideological mood of a specific era, structuring the analysis around different texts, biblical scriptures, and commentaries, the Buddhist Pali Canon and classic translations of Mahayana Buddhism, and philosophical texts and commentaries from the modern period."--Jacket.
