PROSOSYAL DAVRANIŞ EKSENİNDE ÖZGECİLİK ÜZERİNE TEORİK BİR ÇÖZÜMLEME

Öz

gecilik kavramını ilk kez on dokuzuncu yüzyılda Fransız filozofisinin ve sosyolojinin kurucularından biri olan Auguste Comte (1875) ortaya atmış ve özgeciliği başkaları için yaşama eğilimi veya arzusu olarak tanımlamıştır. Comte’un sosyal bilimlere katkısında eşsiz olan şey, sadece onun tanımladığı özgecilik kavramı değil, aynı zamanda dini varsayımlardan bağımsız bir kavram geliştirmede anahtar kişi olmasıdır. Bu çalışmada, özgecilik kavramının kapsamı, tarihsel gelişimi ile yine bu kapsamda prososyal davranışın bir elementi olarak literatürde tartışılan özgeci davranış hakkında var olan bilgileri ortaya koymak; kavramın getirilerini prososyal davranış ekseninde tartışılmaktadır

Anahtar Kelimeler

Özgecilik, prososyal davranış
