Vanya,
Combat narcissism borne of selfishness … with selfishness ? Trade "narcissism of belief" into "narcissism of practice"? OR…. My beliefs are more valuable vs. my self-interests are more valuable ?
Your characterization of his model explodes and yours implodes, … unless some arbitrary system of relativism is imposed (exterior law imposed?)… then either can work …but both render morality as dependent on law for operation, imo
How about believing in the supremacy of rights over needs … regardless if they are "of self" or "of other" ?
More correctly than "supremacy", would be that the exercise of rights is the way to fulfill needs…
