Ethics or Deontology Ch. 1 Exegetics to Deontology

2

§.1.
§.2. Exegetical P

§.1. Relation Ethics exegetical and deontological — their mutual
relation

4. In no shape can interest operate with effect upon
under the will — or indeed act upon it, otherwise than
at the time when it is, and by being present to the mind, i.e.
the conceptive or imaginative faculty, like say the old
Logicians were d nice in presence. True in Somatics
this is not the less true in Pneumatics.

§.2. Exegetic Ethics — Its fundamental position

5. If no other at the moment interest in no other shape be present
to the mind, the will may determination taken by the will
and thence by the alive faculty may be produced by interest
in ' any the weakest shape, and in that shape in any
the smallest quantity. In this way sense alone can a man
by the desire of obtaining some pleasure which if obtained
proves is found to be of the slightest kind, or of avoiding some pain
which when suffered is found to be of the slightest kind
a man may lose some pleasure of the strongest most intense and durable kind that
would have been enjoyed in the greatest quantity or
bring upon himself some pain of the most intense and durable
kind and which shall be experienced in the most intense
degree and for during the longest greatest length of time

6. 6. In either of these cases a man may be in a
certain sense be said to act against his own interest.

7. In no other sense can with truth a man act be said
ever to act against his own interest.

8. But in both senses not a man but will
never probably has any man ever existed who has not
acted against his own interest.

Go on.
