- W2066882918 abstract "That men do frequently act unselfishly is, of course, a fact. But what motivates them to such altruistic behaviour is still an unsettled question. Can it be said that among the original springs of human action there is one which on occasion impels the individual to seek the good of his fellows rather than his own private interest? Or is altruistic action motivated by enlightened prudence—meaning in this case the self-preservative and egoistic drives, modified by an understanding of the mutuality of all individual human interests? This question, always important for an understanding of human nature, has taken on a new urgency in our day. The history of Soviet Russia has demonstrated what can be achieved in time of peace by the co-operative effort of all the members of a great modern nation. The atomic bomb has given warning to mankind that the nations of the world must learn to co-operate in order to escape destruction. Thus no one can question today the imperative, even desperate, need for more thorough-going and effective co-operation in both the national and the international fields. The only remaining doubt concerns the relation of such complete and far-reaching co-operation to the freedom of human individuals. The Western democracies believe that individual citizens can be induced to co-operate voluntarily in the pursuit of common national goals, and that a world government can likewise be based upon a willing co-operation between nations. Totalitarian regimes undertake to make such co-operation compulsory. They proceed on the assumption that the degree of co-operation requisite to conserve human welfare can be obtained from a citizen-body only if it is enforced by governmental machinery and the organization of social life. Of these two political doctrines, that one is probably destined to prevail which is most in harmony with the nature and constitution of man. The answer to the problem of which doctrine fits human nature best depends very largely upon the facts of human motivation. Is there an original altruistic motive operating in kindly and helpful, in patriotic, public-spirited, humanitarian action, or does all such altruistic behaviour spring from the basic self-preservative drives directely by prudential intelligence? This question, always important for an understanding of human nature, has taken on a new urgency in our day." @default.
