The Theory and Practice of Compassionate Reasoning

It is through cultivation of neural pathways of prosocial feelings that the mind can be motivated to utilize reasoning for sustainable life. Empathy with the suffering of others is a strong prosocial emotion that is helpful to peacebuilding. But in excess, empathy leads to “burnout” which can include withdrawal, antisocial feelings, post-traumatic stress disorder, and metabolic abnormalities. Compassion, however, is perhaps the most esteemed prosocial emotion in the history of ethical theories, philosophy, religions, and contemporary psychology. Compassion’s extensive application to all people and all living things makes it a powerful ally of moral reasoning and moral habits. Compassion entails sustainable prosocial care for oneself and for others, regardless of skin color or religious, tribal, or national differences. Training in compassion, and then in reasoning that is guided by and motivated by compassion, constitutes a new approach to cultivation of the self, relationships with others, educational innovation, social policy, and political governance.
