What does Amour de Soi mean?

It is a french term for love of self. A concept developed by philosopher, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, to describe the instinctive disposition of self-preservation which human beings have in the state of nature. Acts out of amour de soi tend to be for individual well-being. They are naturally good and not malicious because amour de soi as self-love does not involve pursing one's self-interest at the expense of others. It is related to an awareness of one's future and can restrain present impulse. The sentiment does not compare oneself with others, but is concerned solely with oneself as an absolute and valuable existence.

For Rousseau, amour de soi contrasts with amour-propre , a self-love that presupposes a comparison between oneself and others and consequently generates all the vicious and competitive passions. Amour de soi-mâme is a natural feeling which leads every animal to look to its own preservation, and which, guided in man by reason and modified by compassion, creates humanity and virtue.
