From biology to psychology to morality: the philosophy of altruism
http://philosophytalk.org/pastShows/Altruism.html
Engaging, Opinionated, Thoughtful
Are people genuinely altruistic, or is altruism just a type of selfish-behavior? Are other animals altruistic? Should we strive to be altruistic, or is selfishness a higher virtue? John and Ken take the moral high ground with their guest Jeff Schloss, Professor and Chair of Biology at Westmont College and co-editor of "Altruism and Altruistic Love: Science, Philosophy, and Religion in Dialogue."
