Self-Interest discusses the reconciliation of inevitable
self-concern with its manifest potential for harm. This anthology
brings together the efforts of twenty three renown philosophers to
address the matter of how to bring about such a reconciliation. The
drive for self-preservation, as observed by Aquinas, is the first
law of nature. With this self-love, however, comes the threat of
"the excessive love of self." Self-Interest brings into discussion
the reconciliation of necessary self-concern with its manifest
potential for harm.
This anthology brings together the work of twenty-three important
philosophers to address the question of how to bring about such a
reconciliation. Contributors include: Democritus, Plato, Aristotle,
Augustine of Hippo, Aquinas, Hobbes, Nicole, Mandeville, Butler,
Hutchenson, Hume, Smith, Kant, Bentham, Mill, James, Nietzsche,
Dewey, Rand, and Gauthier.
