3. The Idea Of Altruism
How does Altruism work?
Altruism is a system in which everyone tries to
think of others and care for them just as they care
for themselves. It has been used since time
immemorial within families, close friends and
religious communities etc. but has rarely been
conceived as applicable on a larger scale. We
believe however, that it can represent a more
stable, sustainable solution than the money-
focused, model of competitive capitalism.
4. What is new in Altruism?
The idea of 'loving one's neighbour' is old as old as
human society itself, and has long been a cornerstone of
moral instruction before 'human rights' were talked about.
What is new is that the progress of technology means
our basic needs for food and shelter can be more easily met
than ever before, allowing us more time and effort for
helping others. It was always possible to work for the benefit
of others, but it has never been so easy. We believe that
more and more people working for one another on a good
will basis – either part time or even full time – may have far
reaching positive effects on society.
