altruizam

altruizam

As a theory of action, this can be descriptive (i.e., that people do, at least sometimes, appear to act in other than self-regarding ways). Or it can be a normative position about how people ought to behave (viz., at least sometimes, people should act in non-self-regarding ways). Contrast with egoism.
