Is competition endemic to human nature? Does it preserve the dignity and intrinsic value of the human being? Does it secure better living conditions? In a way, the answer to these queries is a simple “yes.” It can allow for superior satisfaction of fundamental needs; legitimate self-love and self-realization; and encourage positive feelings upon mastering a skill. At the same time, however, competition can also contribute to a strong materialistic self-interest and support classicism, social ranking, and elitism: other human beings become only means to a personal success, thus jeopardizing fellowship and collaboration. In a hyper-competitive environment, some of the same positive human values mentioned above—self-love, self-realisation, individuality, and freedom—can be viewed to pose a threat to the realisation of one’s potential and to one’s true humanity. These competing, contradictory aspects of competition are presented and discussed from perspectives across varying disciplines, from social anthropology | | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | | 关键词 | philosophic anthropology; ethics; morality; competition; economics; neoclassical market economy; ethical e | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-22133-1 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-22135-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-22133-1 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2019 |
