The Necessity Of Altruism
The article is devoted to the problem of altruism. It considers the role of altruism in the development ofthe civilisation. The authors establish the connection between altruism and individual intellectual abilities as well as the conditions of establishment of the fair society. The article shows that while the grounds of altruism philosophy are clearly expounded in the works of V. Soloviev, the biological and the contemporary ethical points of view are not sufﬁciently formulated in spite of numerous attempts to develop particular models of altruism. Development of a relevant general model of altruism is still to be done.
