Concerning the relation between altruism and morals there are not only disputes about
how to conceptualize altruism, but even arguments that something like genuine
altruism does not exist at all. Questions and arguments of this type will be analyzed.
Furthermore it is argued that all moral reasoning has to be based on the prerequisite
of a certain – at least partly natural – protoaltruism. At the same time, however, it has
to be taken into account that there are more things involved in morals than mere altruism.
Included are some aspects from evolutionary psychology and anthropology.
