Ethical egoism is the view that an act is permissible if it


Ethical egoism is the view that an act is permissible if it maximizes an agent's self-interest or welfare. One can argue that this view presupposes constraints on an agent's actions or liberty of action, because it is not in an agent's self-interest to do acts that are harmful or indifferent to the interests of other agents (i.e., to do narrowly self-interested actions or actions that are not at all other-regarding). Present a cogent argument that considers this idea with reference to Glaucon's arguments in the Republic for why we have reason to act unjustly, or to disobey moral norms and conventions to do as we please, if we can. (This essay must be four pages doublespaced).
