SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Keith Graham examines the philosophical assumptions behind the ideas of group membership and loyalty. He offers a new understanding of the multiplicity of sources which vie for the attention of human beings as they decide how to act, and challenges the conventional division between self-interest and altruism.
