Altruism and Darwinian Rationality

Howard Margolis

No 211, Working Papers from Harris School of Public Policy Studies, University of Chicago

Abstract: This is an invited comment on a forthcoming target article (Rachlin, Behavioral and Brain Sciences, in press) which provides a further entry in the long list of proposals for reducing what might be seen as social motivation to some roundabout form of self-interest. But his argument exhibits the usual limitations, and prompts questions about what drives this apparently unending quest.
