Golden Rule

General-ethical / Our integration

"Treat others as you yourself would wish to be treated." In our framework: performatively grounded as a necessary consequence of recognition as framework. Whoever argues is already practicing recognition and cannot consistently claim it for themselves while denying it to others. 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.
