Examining the power of compassion through the lens of multiple world religions, he explores \u003ci\u003eahimsa \u003c\/i\u003ein Buddhism, Jainism and Hinduism and \u003ci\u003eneighbourly love \u003c\/i\u003ein 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 \u003ci\u003eSwaraj\u003c\/i\u003e, and completed by Martin Luther King, Jr. with the Beloved Community.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy scrutinizing compassion in various religious and ethical traditions and exploring the relevance of \u003ci\u003ehomo fragilis\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54223648358744,"sku":"9781350288867","price":107.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781350288867_a9c1cc2e-acf8-4dd5-953d-20089a71ca8c.jpg?v=1770876045","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/comparative-approaches-to-compassion","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
