Regarding the Pain of Others

Susan Sontag

A succinct and powerful examination of the affects of witnessing suffering, from one of the twentieth century’s greatest thinkers

From Goya’s Disasters of War to news footage and photographs of the conflicts in Vietnam, Rwanda and Bosnia, pictures have been charged with inspiring dissent, fostering violence or instilling apathy in us, the viewer. Regarding the Pain of Others will alter our thinking not only about the uses and meanings of images, but about the nature of war, the limits of sympathy, and the obligations of conscience.
