(Latin: ego, I, self)

In philosophy, the doctrine that all elements of knowledge are in the ego, and in the relations which the ego implies or provides for. The designation is given to those ethical systems which consider self-love the source of all rational action and the determining factor of moral conduct. Any system might be called egoistic which' makes the good of the ego the end and motive of action.
