Compassionate Reasoning : Changing the Mind to Change the World EPUB
by Marc Gopin
EPUB
Description
Around the globe, people who work in the helping professions are often heroic bridge-builders and creators of peaceful societies.
They have in common, Marc Gopin argues, a set of cultivated moral character traits and psychosocial skills.
They tend to be kinder, more reasonable, more self-controlled, and more goal-oriented towards peace.
They are united by a particular set of moral values and the emotional skills to put those values into practice, allowing them to excel in what he calls "Compassionate Reasoning." In this book, Gopin draws upon the history of ethics along with his own thirty-year career in the field of peacebuilding to develop an understanding of this type of reasoning. The very multiplicity of approaches to ethics, says Gopin, invites us to look for higher principles and intuitions.
In discovering the worlds of others, we also clarify our own deepest moral principles and commitments.
By utilizing Compassionate Reasoning, individuals with divergent moral principles and intuitions can find a way to talk to each other and to meet in a common universe of ethical concern.
Gopin explores this as a way to build peace, especially across divides of politics, race, religion, and culture.
