Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Drawn from what Immanuel Kant said
On the topicIs the Golden Rule the heart of morality?under our view: It cannot be the foundation, because it leaves out duties to yourself and to those in need
Let it not be thought that the common "quod tibi non vis fieri, etc." could serve here as the rule or principle. For it is only a deduction from the former, though with several limitations; it cannot be a universal law, for it does not contain the principle of duties to oneself, nor of the duties of benevolence to others
