520 _aAfter discussing various approaches about heroic behaviour in the literature, we first define and classify moral behaviour, in distinction to intrinsically motivated and `prudent' behaviour. Then, we present some arguments on the function of heroic behaviour in a modern democratic society. We conclude with some remarks on methodological as well as social problems which arise or may arise if behaviour can not be influenced by extrinsic incentives. - Reproduced.
