Principle of Generic Consistency (Alan Gewirth)
Prinzip der konstitutiven Konsistenz
“Apply to your recipient the same generic features of action that you apply to yourself. I shall call this the Principle of Generic Consistency (PGC), since it combines the formal consideration of consistency, as found in the above universalization argument, with the material consideration of the generic features of action.”
Alan Gewirth (1974), The “Is–Ought” Problem Resolved, in Gewirth, Human Rights: Essays on Justification and Applications, Chicago 1982, S. 100–127: S. 123
(Zuerst in Proceedings and Addresses of the American Philosophical Association 47 (1974), S. 34–61)
“Act in accord with the generic rights of your recipients as well as of yourself. I shall call this the Principle of Generic Consistency (PGC), since it combines the formal consideration of consistency with the material consideration of rights to the generic features or goods of action.”
Alan Gewirth, Reason and Morality, Chicago 1978, S. 135
„Handle stets in Übereinstimmung mit den konstitutiven Rechten der Empfänger deiner Handlungen wie auch deiner selbst!“
