Comprehension:
Read the following passage carefully and answer question numbers from 11 to 15:
It is easy to see that there is nothing particularly unusual, or especially contrary to reason, for aperson to choose to pursue a goal that is not exclusively confined to his or her own self-interest.As Adam Smith noted, we do have many different motivations, taking us well beyond the singlemindedpursuit of our interest. There is nothing contrary to reason in our willingness to dothings that are not entirely self-serving. Some of these motivations, like ‘humanity, justice,generosity and public spirit’, may even be very productive for society, as smith noted. Theretends to be, however, more resistance to accepting the possibility that people may have goodreasons even to go beyond the pursuit of their own goals. The argument runs: if you areconsciously not pursuing what you think are your goals, then clearly those cannot be your goals,Indeed, many authors have taken the view that the claim that one can have reason not to beconfined to the pursuit of one’s goals is ‘nonsensical’ since even strongly heterogeneous oraltruistic agents cannot pursue other people’s goals without making their own. The point here isthat in denying that rationality demands that you must act single-mindedly according to yourown goals. You do not necessarily dedicate yourself to the promotion of others. We can reasonour way towards following decent rules of behaviour that we see being fair to others as well. Thiscan restrain the unique dominance of single-minded pursuit of our own goals. There is nothingparticularly mysterious about our respect for sensible rules of conduct. This can qualify thepursuit of what we rightly-and reasonably-see as goals that we would in general like to advance.What we can say about your choice? There is no difficulty in understanding that you are notaverse to helping your neighbor-or anyone else-pursue his or her well-being. But it so happensthat you do not think that your neighbor’s well-being is, in fact, best advanced by his wastingtime on playing a silly game. Your action is not corollary of any general pursuit of well-being.
