Compassion as a Skill: A Comparison of Contemplative and Evolution-Based Approaches
Overview
This paper compares evolutionary and contemplative approaches to understanding compassion as a skill within secular contexts. It contrasts scientific models that utilize thinking and behavior change with contemplative traditions that emphasize direct experience and non-dual awareness. The text notes that while both perspectives aim to alleviate suffering, they differ in their methods for training the mind and their pursuit of transcendent insights.
