Contemplating Compassion

Steven L. Berg

Published October 2024


Contemplating Compassion reflects Dr. Berg's interdisciplinary academic practice of drawing on a variety of seemingly unrelated sources to expand one's worldview. As a result, the quotations in this book range from formal commentary about the Buddha dhamma to the study of bacteria and Charles Darwin's The Descent of Man. They include passages from a variety of religious and philosophical traditions as well as commentary from Buddhist monks, lay people, and academics who study contemplation. As such, most of the texts selected might not be familiar to most readers. And that is the point.
