Religion aside, such caring has come into the scientific world as "empathic concern," caring about the other person. We not only sense what the other person thinks and feels, but feel concern for their well-being.

In the book

It begins with one question — what would I want if I were in their shoes? There are really two kinds working together: cognitive empathy, which lets you understand how the other person thinks and sees the situation, and emotional empathy, which lets you feel what they feel because, through a kind of brain-to-brain resonance, you actually feel a version of it yourself. The good stuff goes one step further into what scientists now call empathic concern — not just sensing what another feels, but truly caring about their wellbeing. Let me be concrete, because this is where I lived. — The Heart in the Cockpit (Emotion/Awe/Anxiety/Regret/Empathy)
