The College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences for Women held a qualitative lecture for the first-grade students entitled “Intellectual Mind and Altruism” delivered by the lecturer Dr. Tarek al-Sheikhly. The aim of the lecture was to illustrate the concept of the thinking mind as the mind that focuses on solutions and a good analysis of the situation, as well as its possibilities in transforming the abstract situation into a practically embodied achievement that contributes to the development of life and pushing it forward.
It also outlined the concept of altruism synonymous with self-denial as totally contrary to selfishness, where it can be distinguished from loyalty, since the latter depends on social relations, while altruism does not depend on relationships. She added that the term intellectual altruism refers to a moral doctrine that claims to commit individuals morally to benefit others, which decreases with the doctrine of selfishness that claims that individuals are morally obliged to serve themselves first, which means that it represents a principle and a moral practice that works on the happiness of other human beings, in an effort to raise the level of both material and spiritual life, so the care of intellectual altruism is embodied in the first aspects extinguishing the hotbeds of intellectual extremism and the second is winning an intellectual product that supports the advancement of human beings with renewed ideas that transform from the words of intellectual altruism in the minds of giant humanitarian projects on the ground.
