Dualist CSR approaches argue that corporations should do both: maximize private profit and do good for society. These two goals remain however unrelated. The profit goal and the goal to contribute to the common good are regarded as two separate aims of the corporation. Doing good
for society is addressed as an additional goal beyond the primary goal of profit maximization. This means that dualist approaches do not consider interrelations between the process of maximizing profit and the common good. The concept of philanthropy best exemplifies this approach.

The products of cultural evolution (Tinbergen’s function and history questions) adapt human populations to their environments much faster than genetic evolution, but they are subject to all the same limitations: at times benefitting me at your expense, us at their expense, or all of us today at the expense of future generations. To overcome these limitations, we must mindfully direct the process of cultural evolution toward planetary sustainability.
