Talk:Selfism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I distinguish "selfism" from "egoism" based on the useage of Paul Vitz (I liked it, even though I mostly hated him), and on the fact that Erikson and Fromm, although praising the self, were certainly not egoists, at least not in the same way as Rand, et. al. Rand's Objectivism hardly ever uses the words egoism or rational egoism, but is really big on the word "selfishness". I think Vitz might be on to something. Shanoman 23:48, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] More substance needed

I tried to make some NPOV edits. As I did so I noticed that the actual substance of Vitz's critique is either not presented here or consists solely of the label. It would be useful to have a presentation of the substance of his critique. Who else has made this kind of critique? It is certainly "in the air". DCDuring 16:46, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
