When Dr Arthur Kleinman, an eminent Harvard psychiatrist and social anthropologist, began caring for his wife, Joan, after she was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease, he found just how far the act of caregiving extended beyond the boundaries of medicine.

"Das Mitleid hebt die Mauer zwischen du und ich auf." Mitleid ist nach Schopenhauer das Fundament der Menschenliebe, der Gerechtigkeit und der Ethik. Es schließt die Liebe zu den Tieren ein und ist die natürliche, uneigennützige und allein wirklich moralische Triebfeder ethischen Handelns. Es ist damit die Basis einer jeden Tugend.

Sorprende que a 140 años de la muerte de Schopenhauer aún existan textos inéditos de su obra. El amor es un sentimiento humano que puede crecer hasta opacar cualquier aspiración, determinación o certeza del individuo e incluso llevarlo a sacrificar su vida, y sin embargo, en palabras de Arthur Schopenhauer, había sido "totalmente ignorado por los filósofos" hasta que éste lo interpretó metafísica y trascendentemente.
