Volume : III, Issue : II, March - 2013 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. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : V.AMBEDKAR, (2013). ALTRUISTIC EDUCATION - GANDHIAN PERSPECTIVE. Indian Streams Research Journal, Vol. III, Issue.
