The Duty of Altruism is a book written by Ray Madding McConnell and first published in 1910. The book explores the concept of altruism, which is the principle or practice of concern for the welfare of others. McConnell argues that altruism is a duty that every individual has towards their fellow human beings, and that it is essential for the betterment of society as a whole.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of altruism. McConnell begins by defining the concept of altruism and discussing its historical origins. He then goes on to explore the role of altruism in various aspects of life, including religion, politics, and economics.Throughout the book, McConnell emphasizes the importance of selflessness and compassion in human interactions. He argues that by putting the needs of others before our own, we can create a more just and equitable society. He also discusses the potential pitfalls of altruism, such as the danger of enabling dependency, and provides strategies for avoiding these pitfalls.Overall, The Duty of Altruism is a thought-provoking exploration of a timeless ethical principle. McConnell’s arguments are well-reasoned and persuasive, and the book remains relevant today as we continue to grapple with issues of social justice and inequality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

There is no more perplexing problem before the philosophy of conduct than the search for a sufficient ground of the ob Ugation to be altruistic. That himianity acknowledges the existence of this obligation is plainly shown by a psychological analysis and historical survey of the phenomena of moral consciousness. This investigation undertakes a study of the attempted solutions of the problem. The most common way of trying to solve the problem is altogether unsatisfactory. It shows, first, that the man who fulfills his duties to himself by taking good care of himself is also fulfilling his duties to others in becoming capable of rendering greater service to them, that is, in becoming a better providing father and husband and a more intelligent and useful citizen; and secondly, that the man who fulfills his duties to others by serving them, being a good husband, father, and citizen, is at the same time fulfi Uing his duties to himself in enlarging his Ufe. Such a procedure as this merely evades the problem.
