The status of altruism
Mind 92 (366):204-218 (1983)
Abstract
It is argued that to possess the concept of distress is to be able to apply the concept to others, and that this implies a qualified form of altruism, in the sense that to perceive another as being in distress is, other things being equal, to see them as in need of help and be moved to help them.Author's Profile
