Introduction -- 2. Altruism and Community: A Biological and Philosophical History -- 3. Rethinking the Welfare and Best Interest Principles -- 4. What Do the Courts Do? -- 5. Putting it Into Practice.This book is an assault on the notion that it is empirically accurate and legally and philosophically satisfactory to see humans as atomistic entities. It contends that our welfare is inextricably entangled with that of others, and accordingly law and ethics, in determining our best interests, should recognise the central importance of relationality, the performance of obligations, and (even apparently injurious) altruism.SpringerBriefs in Law,2192-8568LawPhilosophyLawHistoryEthicsPrivate international lawConflict of lawsInternational lawComparative lawPsychologyTheories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal HistoryMoral Philosophy and Applied EthicsPrivate International Law, International and Foreign Law, Comparative LawBehavioral Sciences and PsychologyLawPhilosophy.LawHistory.Ethics.Private international law.Conflict of laws.International law.Comparative law.Psychology.Theories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal History.Moral Philosophy and Applied Ethics.Private International Law, International and Foreign Law, Comparative Law.Behavioral Sciences and Psychology.171.8Foster Charlesauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut222517Herring Jonathanauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483848903321Altruism, Welfare and the Law2844282UNINA
