Notes [1] A genetical connection between the movement of self-transcendence and prosocial morality (focused on a dialogical relationship to Thou) was described and heuristically backed up by Martin Dojčár in his publication Self-Transcendence and Prosociality (2017). [2] “Handle so, daß du die Menschheit sowohl in deiner Person, als in der Person eines jeden andern jederzeit zugleich als Zweck, niemals bloß als Mittel brauchst.“ (Kant 1785, 429). Translation: “Act in such a way that you always treat humanity, whether in your person or in the person of any other, never simply as a mean but at the same time as an end.”
