Isn't that what Stirner's Ego and It's Own is?

i thought that was the opposiite

The Bible

Ayn Rand

Is the philosophy of Aristotle really as selfish as I've heard it claimed to be?

Does Aristotle think altruism is possible?

A book that makes you wanna get kids.

Altough we could get into the altruism debate here.

>>7294218
No, not even close.

It's selfish in the sense that it gets utilitarians' panties in a twist. It's not selfish really but the focus isn't altruism, it's honor.

i really doubt you care only about yourself
if it is true, however, you need medical attention more than a book

well, care is hard to conceptualise in a non-vague way. I care about others in that if everyone but me died I'd hate it or whatever but in terms of caring for people i.e. humanity I don't feel it. I can hear on the news about whatever horrible things are happening and I feel nothing, I can see people in real life having severe issues and feel nothing, I can see friends/family going through similar shit and feel a vague sense of guilt that I ought to do something/feel something but really it's forced.

I'd like to care about people in a normal, human way but i just don't

Weed and a movie you've always heard your more intelligent friends describe as sad. That's where I learned to start really feeling empathy.

As entry level as it is, To Kill a Mockingbird made me feel a really strong urge to have children and raise them right

I actually know someone who is like that. Her grandfather died and she could care less. Her father was in the hospital and she refused to call him. She's not really a person and she doesn't feel anything.

Sounds like you're slightly sociopathic.

You should probably check in with a psychologist sometime soon.

Does anybody really care about anyone but themselves past their close family? I don't.

People who pretend they do are the type of people you see on reddit. That's all I'm saying.
