The Altruistic Species: Scientific, Philosophical, and Religious Perspectives of Human Benevolence
Andrew Michael Flescher
Explores various questions through the lenses of four disciplinary perspectives - biology, psychology, philosophy, and religion. The authors make an extended argument for the existence of altruism against competing theories that construe ostensible cases of benevolence as self-interest in disguise. They also consider theories of egoism.
