Abstract
The article under consideration deals with the theoretical analysis and the practical research of the ratio between the two notions: egoism and altruism in person’s everyday activity. The author shows the inadequacy of the one-sided, morally loaded interpretations of both terms. The scores of two investigations mostly show the positive correlation between the cultural and leisure “egoism” and the “altruism” scales in a person’s everyday activity. The results obtained give the opportunity to replace the inadequate view on philosophical reading of cultural and leisure egoism and altruism as opposites by a more appropriate metaphor of the older and the younger brother. Such an approach removes the idea of antagonism which is usually ascribed to the egoism-altruism interrelation.
