Description

This collection of essays explores one of the oldest and most enduring debates in philosophy: the relationship between morality and self-interest. Since ancient Greece, thinkers have grappled with whether morality can be seen as a check on individual interests or if it is in one's own interest to act morally.

Contributions from leading philosophers cover various perspectives on this central question, including the nature of moral motivation, the role of egoism and altruism, and the relationship between justice and personal duty. This thought-provoking volume offers a nuanced examination of the complex interplay between morality and self-interest.

Featuring essays by prominent scholars in the field, this edited collection provides a comprehensive overview of the ongoing debate surrounding morality and self-interest.
