- Richard M. Salsman, Ph.D. -

Philanthropy means love of humanity, which warrants not charity and duty
but generosity and gratitude. Humans, at their best, are rationally selfish.
That ethic should guide gift-giving as much as wealth-making.

Why 'selfish' philanthropy? Ayn Rand never justified her use of the word 'selfishness'. She referred to the 'exact' meaning of the word, and she wrote that the meaning ascribed in popular usage to selfishness is ‘wrong’. But there is no exact meaning of a word, nor is there a meaning that is right or wrong. There is only the meaning that is inferred from the way the word is used in written English. This is the premise of the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), which is the definitive dictionary of the English language. This approach is necessary, since the way a word is used, and hence its meaning, can change over time. As the OED shows, use of the word selfishness dates back to the 1600s, and it has always had a derogatory meaning.

So what about Friedrich Engels's philanthropy? He used his wealth & business skills to promote Marxism like it was a company's product, with his friend Karl Marx as the company's brand.
