The term "altruism" may also refer to an [[ethical]] doctrine that claims that individuals are morally obliged to benefit others. The [[concept]] has a long [[history]] in philosophical and ethical [[thought]], and has more recently become a topic for [[psychologists]] (especially evolutionary psychology [[research]]ers), sociologists, evolutionary biologists, and ethologists. While [[ideas]] about altruism from one field can have an [[Influence|impact]] on the other fields, the [[different]] [[methods]] and focuses of these fields lead to different [[perspectives]] on altruism.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altruism]

Is ''unselfishness''—the spirit of self-forgetfulness—desirable? Then must [[mortal]] man live face to face with the incessant clamoring of an inescapable [[self]] for [[recognition]] and [[honor]]. Man could not dynamically [[choose]] the [[divine]] life if there were no self-life to [[forsake]]. Man could never lay saving hold on [[righteousness]] if there were no [[potential]] [[evil]] to exalt and differentiate the [[good]] by [[contrast]].
