Definition and arrangement.

Deontology is that or Ethics (taken in the largest
sense of the word) is that branch of art and science which
has for its object the learning and fo shewing to each for
the information of each individual, by what means
the net amount of his happiness may be made as
large as possible, buying out of the account of each
in so far as it is dependent on his own
conduct: the happiness of that one each individual separately
considered, and thereby that of every individual being
among of the number of those whose happiness is considered included
in the number on this occasion an object
of regard

Add here the distinction between Deontology and the
other branches of the art and science of Endoconomics

Ch. 3

In so far as a man's conduct is regarded as
conducive to this end, the term Virtue with its conjugates
may be considered as applicable to it: virtuous may be employed in speaking of it: the character of his conduct
may be said to be virtuous: [the man may be termed said to be
a man of Virtue: virtue may be said to be man
characterize and be manifested in and by his conduct
— his actions — his deportment

In so far as his conduct is considered as having operating
an opposite tendency in an opposite direction, the term Vice with its
conjugates may be employed in speaking of it. His
conduct may be said to be vitious: [the man may be termed said to be
a man of Virtue.] virtue may be said to characterize and be
manifested in and by his conduct — his actions — his deportment.

Note (*)
Virtue and Vice —two
fictitious entities, fic
imagined and spoken
of as real for the purposes
of discourse.
Sometimes they are considered
as — spoken of as
if they were — personages.
Fictions as they are, deception is not in the use made of them either an object or an effect. Without fictions of this nature, and these in considerable abundance
discourse on subjects such as this — could not be carried on.
