¹¹ In ‘Compassion and Commanded Love’, Faith and Philosophy II No. 1 (January, 1994), I argue that the emotion of compassion is a kind of concern-based construal of a person in distress, where such a construal is, to some extent, subject to one′s will and therefore a possible object of an s imperative. Thus, while agape is not itself an emotion, obedience to the 0 love commandment might sometimes entail intentionally bringing about, ) by appropriately exercising one′s powers of attention and imagination, a feeling of compassion for another which motivates one to come to his aid.
