Golden Rule
The Golden Rule or ethic of reciprocity is a maxim, ethical code or moralitythat essentially states either of the following: One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself (positive or directive form). One should not treat others in ways that one would not like to be treated. (negative or prohibitive form) In principle, the Golden Rule is a directive to regard others as one does oneself, and to act accordingly. Although often confused with it, the Golden Rule is not the maxim of reciprocity captured in do ut des - ""I give so that you will give in return"" - but rather a unilateral moral commitment to the well-being of the other without the expectation of anything in return.This concept can be explained from the perspective of psychology, philosophy, sociology, economics and religion. Psychologically, it involves a person empathizing with others. Philosophically, it involves a person perceiving their neighbor also as ""I"" or ""self"". It is also a favorite ethical principle cited by Moral Objectivists. Sociologically, 'love your neighbor as yourself' is applicable between individuals, between groups, and also between individuals and groups. (For example, treating all people with consideration, and not just members of his own in-group.) In economics, Richard Swift, referring to ideas from David Graeber, suggests that ""without some kind of reciprocity society would no longer be able to exist."" Religious thought figures prominently in the history of this concept of how to love others.As a concept, the Golden Rule has a history that long predates the term ""Golden Rule"", or ""Golden law"", as it was called from the 1670s in England and Europe. As a concept of ""the ethic of reciprocity,"" it has its roots in a wide range of world cultures, and is a standard way that different cultures use to resolve conflicts.Rushworth Kidder notes that this concept's framework appears prominently in many religions, including ""Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, and the rest of the world's major religions"". According to Greg M. Epstein, "" 'do unto others' ... is a concept that essentially no religion misses entirely."" Simon Blackburn also states that the Golden Rule can be ""found in some form in almost every ethical tradition"".
