Rational Self Interest By Anthony J. Fejfar, B.A., J.D., Esq., Coif © Copyright 2008 by Anthony J. Fejfar Previously, I have argued for a Liberal Scale of Values which involve: Autonomy, Rational Self Interest, Self Actualization, and Self Transcendence. However, I have also argued that the Common Good should be an aspect of a Liberal Scale of Values. So, following John Rawls, I argue that one should pursue Enlightened Rational Self Interest, rather than mere Rational Self Interest. Enlightened Rational Self Interest means that Rational Self Interest must be tempered by the Common Good. Thus, it is in one’s Rational Self Interest to following the Rules of the Game of Constitutional Democracy and Social Responsitibility.
