| Item Description: | Includes bibliographical references (pages 251-262) and index Part I. Alien Altruism: 1. Explanations for altruism -- 2. Evidence of altruism -- 3. The elusiveness of altruism -- Part II. Ideal Altruism: 4. Contract altruism -- 5. Constructed altruism -- 6. Collegial altruism -- Part III: Real Altruism -- 7. Acute altruism: Agape -- 8. Absolute altruism -- 9. Actual altruism "Separated from its anchorage in religion, ethics has followed the social sciences in seeing human beings as fundamentally characterized by self-interest, so that altruism is either naively idealistic or arrogantly self-sufficient. Colin Grant contends that, as a modern secular concept, altruism is a parody on the self-giving love of Christianity, so that its dismissal represents a social levelling that loses the depths that theology makes intelligible and religion makes possible." "The Christian affirmation is that God is characterized by self-giving love (agape), then expected of Christians. Lacking this theological background, the focus on self-interest in sociobiology and economics, and on human realism in the political focus of John Rawls or the feminist sociability of Carol Gilligan, finds altruism naive or a dangerous distraction from real possibilities of mutual support. This book argues that to dispense with altruism is to dispense with God and with the divine transformation of human possibilities."--Jacket |
