Deontology

1817 5

Extra-regarding Foundation of

5

9:
Under the self-regarding branch the physical sanction
considered as occupying itself in preserving preventing the pursuit
of pleasure from being productive of preponderant i.e more
than equivalent evil viz, more than equivalent pain or loss of
more than equivalent pleasure consistent in such evil consequences
as for example in case of excess were liable to be produced
by the act of self gratification: for example from the
drinking of intoxicating liquors to excess sickness and headache
from the act general prostration of strength and disease
in various shapes from the habit.

10
Under the present branch of deontology viz — the extra-regarding,
to the head of the physical sanction may be referred
all such evil consequences as in any shape upon and after
any act by which evil is produced or considered as produced
to a third person are apt or liable to be produced by
the enmity of such third person or of those who on the
occasion in question sympathise with him. Thus suppose
a man prompted by ill will to aim a blow at another
with whom he has a quarrel in this case in so far
as he is restrained by fear of a return of the blow whether
from the man himself or from a friend and companion
of his it is to the physical sanction that the retraining
cause may be referable: and so in case of injury or supposed
injury in any other shape viz. to person, reputation,
property, or condition in life.

11
In so far as the evil which a man might otherwise
have done to another party is adequately prevented either
by the physical sanction as above explained, or by the political
including the legal sanction there is no room for the
application of private deontology: the effect is produced
by the power of political deontology alone (a)

In the field of extra-regarding deontology — the principally
operating tutulerany forces i.e evil-restraining
joined by helping and good promoting joined by helping -restraining
forces are the popular or moral sanction or
the social and sympathetic. It is by one or other or both
of these that if at all (the religious sanction for the present
being out of the question) any deficiences in the actions
of the physical and political sanctions are supplied

Proceed to shew 1 the natural alliance between these
two sanctions. 2. thus weakness in the original states
of man and their strength in the present states

11(a)
(a) Quere whether as in the selfregarding so in the extra-
regarding branch the physical sanction may not be considered
as one of the powers brought into action by belonging to private deontology
