English summary: In our globalised cultural environment, compassion has gradually become the sign of our inner “humanity.” Today, its control over morality as well as the image which people have of themselves and of their social and political relations, is so indisputable that an ideology as recent as that of “Care” (care, solicitude, concern about others, willingness to help others) is becoming a fully integral part of it. What can account for the development of such an empire? French description: La compassion est devenue, peu a peu, dans notre aire culturelle mondialisee, le signe de l’humanite en nous. A present, sa domination non seulement sur la morale mais sur la representation que les hommes se font d’eux-memes comme de leurs rapports sociaux et politiques, est si indiscutable qu’une ideologie recente comme celle du Care (soin, sollicitude, souci de l’autre, aide apportee a l’autre) s’y enracine entierement. Pourquoi un tel empire?Pour le comprendre, ne faut-il pas se demander quand et comment l’identification de la vertu d’humanite a la compassion s’est produite?C’est la l’un des objectifs du present essai qui prend son depart dans l’articulation du probleme philosophique suivant: la compassion releve-t-elle de l’amour ou de la justice?Il m’a semble qu’une fois definie la compassion et retracees les grandes etapes de son histoire conceptuelle (d’Aristote a Levinas), une importance toute particuliere devait etre accordee a la position de Nietzsche, pour qui le respect du malheur que nous nous imposons au nom de la morale represente le pire des malheurs qui puisse frapper l’humanite consideree dans sa globalite.P.A.
