Philosophy intro to ethics:

 If you read Hobbes carefully, you'll see that he believes that we're self-interested in the extreme. That means that we never do anything genuinely altruistic--that is, sacrificial of our own good for the benefit of another. When we act morally, for Hobbes, we do so because of the same kind of thinking that's implicit in the Social Contract--that is, because it serves our self-interest in some way.

Do you agree with Hobbes that ultimately, everything we do is out of self-interest? Is it possible that the very idea of self-interested behavior makes no sense without contrasting altruistic behavior?
