| 520 | _a"The Altruist in Politics" by Benjamin N. Cardozo is a philosophical discourse presented as a commencement address at Columbia College in the late 19th century. This piece serves as a critique of altruistic doctrines in politics, particularly the principles of communism and socialism, as Cardozo explores how these ideologies impact human behavior and societal structures. The work reflects the intellectual climate of the time, grappling with themes of individualism versus collectivism and the psychological and practical implications of altruism in governance. In "The Altruist in Politics," Cardozo systematically argues against the principles of communism, positing that its ideals are impractical and potentially harmful. He asserts that altruism, when applied as a governing principle, undermines individual effort and creativity, ultimately eroding the very qualities that drive human progress. Through historical examples, he highlights the failures of past attempts at communal living while critiquing the notion that collective well-being can be achieved at the expense of individual rights and ambitions. Cardozo warns that a society governed by altruistic principles would evolve into a mechanistic state, sacrificing personal freedom for material equality and powerful governance, resulting in a stifling of the human spirit and a regression of societal development.
