- Abstract
Although the concept of Alturism is examined by different disciplines such as Economy, Biology and Psychology, it is fundamentally aphilosophical concept. Since the idea of Alturism pertains to human actions, the basic instinct of the concept is to apprehend humanbehavior in detail. Generally, with regard to Alturism, holding the motivation of human behavior, is about other people as well. Itwill be wrong to claim that the main objective of action of human behavior is primarily himself/herself. In this context, in a society,the behavior of an individual towards society will be more important than before. The examination of human behavior byphilosophy is related especially with ethics and philosophy. Thus, it will be right to say that Alturism is both a political and ethicalconcept. The idea of Alturism is used as an opposite of Egoism in Philosophy. This term was used, firstly, by A. Comte. In this study, Iwill, first of all, examine Alturism as a concept and later its development in history of philosophy; especially by considering theopinion of A. Schopenhauer and T. Nagel.
