Friendship, Altruism and Morality (Routledge Revivals) - Laurence A. Blum - Bog

Offers an account of 'altruistic emotions' (compassion, sympathy, and concern) and friendship that brings out their moral value. This book argues that moral theories centered on rationality, universal principle, obligation, and impersonality cannot capture this moral importance. It emphasizes the moral significance of emotions.
