Preferred term
self-regardingness
Definition
- Self-regardingness concerns acts and virtues focused on benefiting the self and is a prominent component of a person's orientation to the world. Its strength in relation to other-regardingness has been disputed, with most accounts of human nature also attributing to us a natural concern for others, whereas some other accounts describe humanity as primarily or even exclusively egoistic (psychological egoism).
