When an egoist thinks of others ______.

A) he is motivated to do the right thing
B) he is concerned with how others view him
C) it is merely as a means to his or her own ends
D) it is for the greater good of all

Egoism is a philosophy that focuses on self-interest, so when an egoist thinks of others, it is typically only as a means to their own ends. They may consider others in terms of how they can benefit from them or use them to achieve their own goals, but this consideration is not motivated by a concern for the greater good of all or a desire to do the right thing.
