Altruism. Its Nature and Varieties

📓 Palmer (1842-1933) was an American scholar and author who graduated from, and then became a professor at, Harvard University. He wrote on subjects such as education and ethics in works including The New Education (1887) and The Glory of the Imperfect (1898), and is also known for his translation of The Odyssy (1884). The text for this work published in January 1919 is based on a condensed version of eight Ely Lectures delivered in the spring of 1918 at Union Theological Seminary in New York.
