The challenge of contemporary era is one of articulating healthy identity markers that allow for authentic relationships to emerge. Too often, humans-in-society have been unable to move beyond the domain of a scarce vision of self, whether as individuals or as community. They envision a sense of self that brackets the flourishing of others. Even when focus is given to the praxis of liberation as a pathway of belonging, their conceptualization of hospitality is devoid of a turn to authentic altruism. Altruism is regarded as either utopic or a pathology that must be treated. Hence, the deployment of the tools of psychology to address the so-called shadows behind the altruistic turn. Can altruism be a marker of liberation and hospitality within the domain of institutionality? A case is made in this chapter that this is a credible possibility.
