Logic or Ethics Ch Fortitude
7 §.2. Aristotelians
How often has not this discovery been made: made
with the most perfect good faith, without any the least
species of self-conscious piracy. How happy the thought!
the chorus of wit superinduced embellishing upon the substantial ground
of orthodoxy.
Continue in misery, lest you be or you will be ranked not only
among ambitious but among cowards. How often
has not this administer comfort been deterred to the diseased
and destitute, to the incurably diseased, and hopelessly
destitute, from the sort of orthodox assurance of rosy and
fed orthodoxy.
Controversy, confusion self contradiction confusion
contretemps, self-contradiction cover every inch of the
field of Ethics:
Lest must every when be the case when the precept
of utility continues to find rebels. fails of being required.
Meantime At the same time men are to be found to whom it is
"quite certain" and "altogether clear", that every thing about that
relates to ethics has been settled for these two thousand years
and that the every man is either a visionary or a quack
or a visionary who on this ground can fancy or pretend
himself to have produced every thing that can be is ever called
new.
