John Rawls

Ideally citizens are to think of themselves as if they were legislators and ask themselves what statutes, supported by what reasons satisfying the criterion of reciprocity, they would think is most reasonable to enact.

American Educator

Peter Singer

Australian Philosopher

David Blunkett

Reciprocity helps us balance the need for self-determination and creative individuality with mutual hope and, therefore, what might be described as 'solidarity.

Economic Relationships

Better Together

Reciprocity can strengthen social bonds by promoting trust and cooperation.

Social Bonding

Reciprocity isn't just being kind; it's a strategic social action.

Not Just Kindness

In physics, 'reciprocity' is used in specific laws and theorems, not in general conversation.

 that makes us really bond with others, care for others, feel compassion for others, especially the weak and vulnerable. It gives us very strong feelings about those who cause harm.

Moral behavior in...

 these are the two factors that always come out. One is reciprocity, and associated with it is a sense of justice and a sense of fairness. And the other one is empathy and compassion. And human morality is more than this, but if you would remove these two pillars, there would be not much remaining, I think.

 They didn't know if they would survive. They didn't know if they'd make it through. But they were fearless. And that is who we are. We are fearless because we understand the power of reciprocity.
