Abstract

This review examines Ha Huy Thanh's "Compassion" which proposes compassion as a fundamental approach to global challenges. The book presents a triadic framework of compassion: understanding, sharing, and creating solutions. The review analyzes Thanh's argument, exploring its resonance with various cultural and philosophical traditions, and its practical applications across different domains. It draws parallels with economic concepts to illustrate how compassionate approaches might resolve collective action problems. The review evaluates the book's strengths in providing real-life examples and cultural insights, while noting areas of abstraction. It discusses the potential impact of Thanh's ideas on various professional fields and reflects on the book's relevance to current global issues. This analysis aims to situate Thanh's work within the broader discourse on compassion and global problem-solving.
