Are there any philosophers who talked about ethics on the basis of compassion and love instead of just consequences?

As far as I can tell most philosophers that I go to for ethics are based on consequences for performing an action and why they will ultimately not benefit you. I know my question is vague and broad so sorry about that but I was just wondering were there any philosophers (any time period, eastern or western) that talked about ethics on a basis of compassion and love for fellow humans? I understand the consequentialist pov I am just looking for this particular pov.

Emmanuel Levinas is sort of along these lines. He argues that when we encounter another person, they make a demand on us to take care of them by their mere presence.

Simone Weil and Iris Murdoch both have a place for compassion.
