(James Hayden) 18022092 The Ethics of Coöperation E-text prepared by the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) from digital material generously made available by Internet Archive/Canadian Libraries (http://www.archive.org/details/toronto) "The Ethics of Coöperation" by James Hayden Tufts is a philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century, specifically published in 1918. The book examines the moral implications and significance of coöperation as an essential principle in human societies, contrasting it with dominance and competition. It argues for the pivotal role of coöperation in fostering mutual respect and joint purpose, positing that it ultimately serves the common good more effectively than the other strategies. In this work, Tufts explores the evolution of human societies through the lenses of dominance, competition, and coöperation. He presents historical contexts from primitive tribal structures to modern industrial society, emphasizing that while dominance and fierce competition can lead to exploitation and inequality, coöperation enriches human interactions, fosters social welfare, and opens new avenues for collective progress. He critiques existing economic practices that prioritize individual gain over communal well-being, advocating for a shift towards a more ethical economic framework that prioritizes shared responsibilities and seeks to enhance the quality of life for all participants in society. Tufts' exploration is both a philosophical argument and a call to action, inviting readers to envision a future steered by the principles of coöperation in all aspects of human endeavor.
