Mother Teresa is often viewed as a model of selflessness and altruism. Yet some philosophers argue that even apparently selfless actions can be explained in terms of ethical egoism.Explain the core idea of ethical egoism, then analyze whether Mother Teresa’s life and work can be persuasively explained using this theory.
