Altruism or the Other as the Essence of Existence: A Philosophical Passage to Being Altruistic: Value Inquiry Book Series / Studies in Existentialism, Hermeneutics, and Phenomenology, cartea 363

Autor Iraklis Ioannidis
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 mar 2021
Iraklis Ioannidis offers fresh, yet radical, philosophical insights into the much contested topic of altruism. Whereas the debate on altruism, since time immemorial, consists in trying to determine whether we are biologically altruistic or not, Ioannidis explores altruism otherwise. Following Nietzsche, he traces altruism to the phenomenon of promising or giving one’s word. His analysis provokes us to think that our possibility to exist cannot be realized without this event.

Ioannidis’ passage to altruism attempts to perform altruism while exploring it. By reversing the axioms of classical phenomenology, what he calls unbracketing, he welcomes in his writing space any discourse, any human expression which could help the philosophical investigation.

Recenzii

"Ioannidis’s book is a game changer. It offers psychologists a passage to “being altruistic” in their theorizing and research on altruism that is a genuine and meaningful alternative to the individualistic and mechanistic conceptions of helping behavior that have stymied their advancement of knowledge in the discipline on this important topic." - Jeffrey S. Reber Journal of Phenomenological Psychology 53, no. 3 (2022), 114-5
