Abstract:
The paper presents a critical analysis of some basic assumptions in sociobiology. Its main hypothesis is disputed that altruism is in fact just a form of egotism. Critique reveals the internal inconsistency as well as the methodological unfeasibility of the hypothesis. On that basis, the idea is supported that the egotism – altruism opposition is a false dilemma. Social organisation presupposes primary transindividual relationship the features of which are also subject of examination.
