The Possibility of Altruism - Softcover
Just as there are rational requirements on thought, there are rational requirements on action. This book defends a conception of ethics, and a related conception of human nature, according to which altruism is included among the basic rational requirements on desire and action.

Review:
"An extremely tough, polished, and altogether stimulating piece of work." (New York Review of Books)
"This is a powerful and challenging work, skilfully organised and presented with economy, clarity, and style."---Bernard Mayo, Philosophical Books
"Nagel's book is not a criticism of anybody else's book, nor a footnote to anybody else's theory. It is independent and clear, and very original." (Times Literary Supplement)
