Among the topics investigated in this study are the appeal to pity in courts of law and the connection between pity and desert; the relation between pity and love or intimacy; self-pity; the role of pity in war and its relation to human rights and human dignity; divine pity from paganism to Christianity; and why pity was considered an emotion. x, 181 pp. Shipped Weight: Under 500 grams.

First line
Until recently, many scholars refused to believe that the categorization of 'emotions' can differ from language to language and insisted that at least some 'emotions' must be linguistically recognized in all languages.
