Oh ok! Sounds good.
I recently had my application to a religious institute approved. Iā€™m happy about it, but kind of nervous. Other than that, Iā€™m glad they still accept me despite my mental illness. Unfortunately Iā€™m really tired and feeling really groggy. Probably need to take my epilepsy medication. :frowning:

The core difference is that psychological egoism is a descriptive theory about how humans actually behave, while ethical egoism is a normative theory about how humans ought to behave. [1, 2]

Psychological Egoism (The ā€œIsā€)

This is a concept from human psychology asserting that all human actions, no matter how seemingly altruistic, are ultimately motivated by self-interest. For example, a psychological egoist would argue that donating to a charity is ultimately driven by the selfish desire to feel good about oneself or to gain social status. It does not judge whether the behavior is right or wrong; it simply claims that pure altruism does not exist. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Ethical Egoism (The ā€œOughtā€)

This is a moral philosophy arguing that individuals should always act in their own self-interest. An ethical egoist believes that promoting oneā€™s own well-being is the ultimate moral duty, and that acting otherwise is either irrational or dishonest. It makes a judgment about right and wrong behavior rather than simply describing human nature. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Key Distinctions

  • Nature vs. Morality: Psychological egoism explains human nature, whereas ethical egoism is a framework for moral decision-making.
  • Fact vs. Prescription: Psychological egoism describes what is, while ethical egoism prescribes what ought to be. [1, 2, 3]

Nicomachean Ethics, written by Aristotle, is a guide on how to live a good life. It explores the nature of happiness, which he defines as human flourishing or eudaimonia. Aristotle argues that happiness is not a feeling, but a lifelong practice of living and acting excellently. [1, 2, 3]

The Main Goal: Eudaimonia

Aristotle believed everything has a goal or purpose. The ultimate goal for all humans is happiness. He called this eudaimonia (pronounced yoo-dy-MOH-nee-ah), which translates to human flourishing. To find out how to achieve this, he looked at the specific human function: our ability to reason. Therefore, true happiness is living a life where our soul and actions perfectly follow reason. [1, 2]

The Golden Mean

Aristotle argued that virtues are habits. You become a good person by repeatedly doing good things, just like you learn to play a musical instrument by practicing. [1]

He defined every virtue as a ā€œGolden Meanā€ā€”the perfect balance between two extremes:

David Hume meant that logic alone cannot make you do anything. Only a desire or emotion can spark action. Reason acts like a helper. It figures out the best way to get what your feelings want. [1, 2, 3, 4]

What are passions?
Hume used the word ā€œpassionā€ to mean all emotions and desires, such as fear, love, hunger, and wanting a treat. [1]

How they work together:
Imagine you want to eat a cake. Your desire for the cake is the passion. Your brainā€™s logic tells you that you need to go to the store to buy one. Your reason serves your passion. Without the desire for the cake, logic would just sit there. [1, 2]

Reasonā€™s limited role:

  • Logic cannot create goals: Reason only looks at facts. It cannot tell you what to want.
  • Feelings choose the path: Emotions dictate what is valuable to you.
