‘Concepts and implications of altruism bias and pathological altruism’
The profound bene?ts of altruism in modern society are self-evident. However, the potential hurtful aspects of altruism have gone largely unrecognized in scienti?c inquiry. This is despite the fact that virtually all forms of altruism are associated with tradeoffs—some of enormous importance and sensitivity—and notwithstanding that examples of pathologies of altruism abound. Presented here are the mechanistic bases and potential rami?cations of pathological altruism, that is, altruism in which attempts to promote the welfare of others instead result in unanticipated harm. A basic conceptual approach toward the quanti?cation of altruism bias is presented. Guardian systems and their overarching importance in the evolution of cooperation are also discussed. Concepts of pathological altruism, altruism bias, and guardian systems may help open many new, potentially useful lines of inquiry and provide a framework to begin moving toward a more mature, scienti?cally informed understanding of altruism and cooperative behavior.
