Compassion Studies

Compassion Studies is an interdisciplinary field that explores the nature, development, and importance of compassion—genuine concern and care for others’ well-being. It examines how compassion influences human behavior, relationships, and society, often drawing from psychology, philosophy, neuroscience, and social sciences. The goal is to understand how compassion can be cultivated to promote personal growth, improve mental health, and foster social harmony. By studying compassion, scholars aim to enhance individual empathy and contribute to creating more caring, inclusive communities.
