RT Article T1 Ist Nächstenliebe möglich?: Versuch einer philosophisch-theologischen Positionsbestimmung JF Theological research VO 1 SP 65 OP 78 A1 Breitsameter, Christof 1967- LA German PB The Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow YR 2013 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/1681588447 AB The attempt of a modern interpretation of the concept of charity which is pivotal to Jewish-Christian ethics as well as the occidental culture can hardly succeed without a dialogue with those disciplines studying the secular version of it, namely altruism. The different approaches all converge in the question: Why do humans act altruistically? The present article tries to gather the most important answers and to portray the controversial debate on the explanation and evaluation of altruistic behavior in a way that underlines the interdisciplinary connectivity of an essential concept in theology.
