Etymology: From humane + -ness. Piecewise doublet of humanness.

  1. The property of being humane.

    “So, K’ung-tzu says: 'To master oneself and return to propriety is humanity' (Bk 12.1). We see, in this view, that humaneness was a quality which K’ung-tzu believed to be embodied in li, tradition and custom.”
