Logic or Ethics Ch Summum bonum

1 §4 Epicurians

Remm 1 Speci the only nominal. 2 Politics & Ambition.
3 Theoretics/Thematics

§. Physical pleasure — not the summum bonum — Variorum objections
to it.

IV [Not to speak of the Platonics and the Academics
when their vision and their friction and their deity divinity and or
deities divinities —] if the Stoics with their habits of Virtue were
still short of the mark, and being so short of the mark will
even still wrong, now must it have been with these
sinacolish with those hogs the Epicurians? The
pleasure it was summum bonum being the thing sought,
[guess where it was that they looked for it] could any body have thought of it any such thing hogs as they
were it was actually in pleasures that they looked for
it: where to look for it they could not imagine,
unless it were in pleasures. Such is the account here
given of them [that they too were among
the summum-bonum hunters] that they as well as
well as these others were upon the hunt joined in the lines for this summum
bonum, and that it was in pleasure — and yea
that too though it were bodily pleasure — that they
looked for it. Upon the face of it this account
presents itself as not altogether a correct one. That to
these men as well as others pleasure was pleasure
in that there seems nothing but what it probable improbable.
another thing that seems likely likewise not altogether improbable
is, that if they had been obliged to look for
this summum bonum, it is in pleasure they would
have looked for it. On the other hand these Two things seem not equally alike
probable: that they should have expected to have found
it any where that they should have been believers in among those pt the existence of it should have found
believers
the existence of it should have found are believers among them,
and that in their account of pleasure, every pleasure
in every shape that was not but a bodily should have been
left out omitted.
