But so, likewise, is the impulse toward compassionate behavior. Victor Nell acknowledges this, but he does not explore the matter any further. I supplement his account by discussing how compassion, specifically in the moral education of children, can help remedy the problem of violence and cruelty in society. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 29(3), p. 229-230 | Publisher: | Cambridge University Press | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 1469-1825 0140-525X |
