More Than Kin (Classic Reprint): A Book of Kindness: Things Gotten of Life and Fostered of Thought: In Which the Author Is More Obliged to a Dear and Noble Other One Than to His Own Wit - Softcover
Synopsis
This book is above all a reflection on the nature of kindness. Drawing on the author's personal experiences as well as classical philosophy, a thoughtful and profound framework for understanding and showing kindness to others emerges. The author suggests kindness is inherently complex and multifaceted, not always a simple counterpart to harm or cruelty. It is further suggested that a truly kind person is kind not out of obligation, but because it is an intrinsic part of one's nature. It has both positive and negative components - it means being both unwilling to inflict pain and seeking positive joy for others. Exploring ideas of deeds, feelings, and intentions, this book brings philosophical depth to the subject of being kind to others as well as one's self.
