| 520 | _a"Altruism: Its Nature and Varieties" by George Herbert Palmer is a collection of lectures on ethics delivered during the early 20th century. The work explores the concept of altruism, examining its relationship with egoism and the ways they interact in human conduct. Palmer analyzes various aspects of altruism, including manners, gifts, and mutual respect, presenting them as essential elements in understanding moral relationships. The opening of the book introduces Palmer's exploration of altruism through a practical example, where families choose to eat less desirable bread to support those in need, representing an everyday scenario of selflessness. He contrasts the ancient Greek perspective on altruism, which prioritized self-interest, with insights from Hebrew and Christian teachings that embrace love and generosity. Palmer sets the stage for his lectures by laying out the historical context and suggesting that true altruism is achieved only when self-interest and concern for others are harmonized, leading to a deeper understanding of human interactions in the pursuit of moral growth.
