Altruism

Encyclopedia Article

Altruism, devotion to the welfare of others. It is the English form of the French word altruisme created by the 19th-century French philosopher and sociologist Auguste Comte from the Italian word altrui, meaning “of or to others.” The word has gradually come into more general use. In philosophy altruism describes a theory of conduct that aspires to the good of others as the ultimate end for any moral action. In theories of ethics altruism is the antithesis of egoism (self-interest).
