| Description | This chapter reviews contemporary research and writing on problems of social suffering. With a particular focus brought to the work of Pierre Bourdieu, in the context of Sociology, and Arthur Kleinman, in relation to Medical Anthropology, some key issues of analytical concern and commitments of praxis are profiled for consideration. It contends that the contemporary congregation of interest around these matters marks a return to a conception of social inquiry, and of 'the social' components of human experience, as infused by moral sentiment and as involving us in many vexed political debates over the virtue of compassion and power-relations of pity. In this regard, we are once again invited to attend to 'the social question' and to the commitments of human value enacted through our scholarship.
