This collection of essays on moral philosophy deal with the balance to be struck between egoism and altruism - that is, between pursuing one's own interests and serving the interest of others - and with related issues. Contributions examine the relationship between altruism and rationality; consider cases in which one's personal needs and goals may legitimately be given priority over the needs of others; question whether, and under what conditions, we may properly be forced to serve others' interests; and examine the role government should play in regulating our interactions.Jeffrey Paul is the author of 'Altruism: Volume 10, Part 1 (Social Philosophy and Policy) (v. 10)', published 1993 under ISBN 9780521447591 and ISBN 0521447593.
