ALTRUISTIC EDUCATION - GANDHIAN PERSPECTIVE

V.AMBEDKAR

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

The well-being of the individuals, and the social groups, and not the welfare of the society as such, is always the ultimate end of morality. The welfare of society as a whole is a means to the welfare of the units. In the early stages of social evolution, egoism is strong and altruism weak. The moral code prohibits acts of aggression and imposes restraints on the individual in the interest of co-operation. Altruism is essential to the development of life and the increase of happiness, and self-sacrifice is no less primordial than self-preservation. The egoistic satisfactions of each individual in a society depend on such altruistic actions as being just, seeing justice done, upholding and improving the agencies for the administration of justice and improving others physically, intellectually, and morally, pure egoism and pure altruism are equally illegitimate. In the words of Auguste Comte Altruism is the opposite of Egoism. This paper discusses Gandhiji's view about Altruistic Education. The present educational system has to be such that every boy and girl is able to know, love and do good and promote a culture of acceptance, tolerance and love for social justice.
