Unselfishness: The Role of the Vicarious Affects in Moral Philosophy and Social Theory 1st edition
Nicholas Rescher
Rescher criticizes the stance that rationality conflicts with morality, and defends the concept that the worth of altruism is irreducible and that its rationalization does not require recourse to prudential self-interest. To support his position, Rescher provides detailed examples, and a critique of utilitarian morality.
