Logic & Ethics Ch Object
2 § 3 Ought it not?
Meaning as This being As often as I say speaking
of any man I say he ought to do so and so — or he
ought not to do so and so, what accordingly I know
and acknowledge myself to be doing is accordingly neither
more not less than bringing endeavour to bring to view my
the state of my own mind — of my own opinion — of my
own affections in relation to the law of conduct stated
which on the occasion in question is stated as pursued by him,
this much and nothing more.
That which I am very sure I do not mean
forms no part of my meaning — no part of my intention
is that on this or any other occasion any this or any
other opinion of mine should independently of any
particular political power with which may it may happen
to be me to be invested, be considered as having the force of
law — should have in the character of a law or
otherwise be regarded by him as constituting of itself
a reason why the law of conduct, to which my approbation
as above is declared to be annext attached, should be by him or any one maintained pursued
by him or any one be pursued: or that, on
the ground of such my opinion he should believe or be disposed
to believe that a law to any such effect has is any
where in existence.
