Module overview

Altruism is the unselfish concern for or devotion to the welfare of others. To distinguish it from mere helpfulness, some would go further and say that it is not merely being helpful; it is helpfulness at a cost to yourself.

In this module, we consider the meaning and significance of Altruism from a scientific, biological and philosophical perspective.
