The middle ground, construed as a set of moral positions, is not a mix of selfishness and "altruism". I say again: a mix must contain some of both. Altruism and selfishness, as Tom Craver defines them, are mutually exclusive -- where there is one, there cannot be the other. Saying that they can be mixed is like saying that virginity and prostitution can be mixed. --Paul Torek, U of MD College Park
