Altruism
Altruism refers to a motive to increase another's welfare without conscious regard for one's self-interests. Altruism is the practice of charity, being particularly helpful to other people with little view to being rewarded for one's efforts. Altruism is the doctrine that says one's actions ought to further the interests or good of other people, if necessary to the exclusion of one's own interests. The term was coined by Auguste Comte, the French founder of positivism. Altruism is distinguished from ethical egoism, according to which one's actions ought to further one's own interests.
