Angebote / Angebote:
The scrutiny of pity as a cardinal altruistic attribute has emerged in the last two decades as a significant common denominator in disciplines ranging from philosophy to social psychology and comparative literature to gender studies. "Pity" is a term and concept of tremendous importance to a historian and interpreter of the humanities and social sciences. It is a prism through which to examine how given cultures attach value to nonrational components of social life and of human flourishing. Sanchez describes how an appeal to a reader's sense of traditional "pity" in the writings of French philosophers, pedagogues, social theorists, and novelists interacted, in the sociopolitical sphere of the fin-de-siecle, with the interest in studying and promoting this very virtue as a principle of social attachment.
