Golden Rule
General-ethical / Our integration
"Treat others as you yourself would wish to be treated." For us: performatively grounded as a necessary consequence of **recognition as framework**. Whoever argues already practices recognition and cannot consistently claim it for themselves while denying it to others. The core of criterion 4 (reciprocity).
Origin
Present in almost all cultures and religions. Kant formulates it as the categorical imperative. We show: it follows from the structure of self-application within the framework of recognition.
