Publisher Description

A new examination of ethical dictum 'The Gold Rule' exploring its formulation and significance in relation to the world's major religions. ??The Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be treated.

This new collection contains specially commissioned essays which take a fresh look at this guiding principle from a comparative perspective. Participants examine the formulation and significance of the Golden Rule in the world's major religions by applying four questions to the tradition they consider:* What does it say?* What does it mean?* How does it work?* How does it matter?
