The Loss of Compassion

Authors

  • Tomaž Erzar

Abstract

In his short essay, which resembles more a philosophical programme or a manifesto, the author reflects upon the loss of compassion in philosophy and uncovers some fatal consequences of the loss in the social and individual sphere of the modern man. The author claims that this repression of compassion is caused by a reciprocal degradation between thought and its other and indicates that if thought is to become a person, we should prepare ourselves for surprise and compassion which accompany the arrival of the third.
