Altruizmo prigimtis ir ugdymas
Nature and Upbringing of Altruism

Summary/Abstract: Vadovaujantis teistine filosofija žmogaus altruistiškumo ugdymui atramos ieškoma transcendentinėje žmogaus prigimties dimensijoje. Tačiau empiriniai bei pozityvistiniai antropologiniai tyrimai paprastai transcendentinę žmogaus prigimties dimensiją ignoruoja. Straipsnyje tiriama altruizmo prigimtis, analizuojama sociobiologinė altruizmo dimensija, atskleidžiamas biologinės altruizmo prigimties bei religinių-sociokultūrinių ugdymo veiksnių ryšys. The definition of human nature usually varies dependently on the certain direction of philosophy. However recently the idea of only biological human nature, as not connected to spiritual, is more intensively elaborated and spirituality as itself especially altruism is discussed as having only biological origin. The results of the researches of the phenomenon of altruism, as bright spiritual manifestation, show that in psychological works, especially in Internet, where the articles of philosophers and ethologists of different directions could be found, the ideas of altruism having sociobiological origin predominate. The discoveries of ethology stimulated the development of sociobiology. This narrow conception of human being as higher type mammal naturally makes worried educators, who derive human spirituality and altruism from transcendental dimension of human nature. The focus on the transcendental dimension orients for giving sense for life and wider prospective of subsistence in the context of present and future existence.
