Sommario/riassunto |

This work offers a survey of the history of the rule, ""Do unto others as you want others to do unto you"". It traces the rule's history in contexts as diverse as the writings of Confucius and the Greek philosophers, the Bible, modern theology and philosophy, and the American ""self-help"" context. |
