Is ethical egoism really inconsistent?
Ethics 80 (3):240-242 (1970)
| Abstract | Glasgow's conception of the doctrine of ethical egoism - that everyone ought to promote his own interest - is mistaken. Ethical egoism rightly understood holds no such doctrine or normative principle, and regards the promotion of one's own interest neither a "duty" nor an "ought." Everyone does in fact promote his own interests. | |||||||||
