Deontology 2. Prudence self-regarding

2

Under this general head to wit the head of self purely self-regarding
prudence belong come several of the particular virtues put by Aristotle
and thence by other Moralists to this day on a line with prudence.

These are — 1. Temperance. 2. Continence. 3. Fortitude. 4. Veracity
Magnanimity. 5. Veracity: to wit in so far as in by the effects of
actions considered as regulated by those virtues the happiness of
no being other than the agent in question is considered as being
affected — G

Go on to shew how in these several cases prudence consists in
the sacrifice of the present to the future.

In so far as the interest of others are connected with and dependant
on that of the purpose in question beneficence to wit as
towards those others comes belongs to under the head of prudence—even self-
regarding prudence. But in this case the sort of prudence in question
is—not purely self-regarding but extra-regarding prudence.
In so far as neither the greater future happiness of the agent in
question is considered as being promoted or endeavoured to be promoted
nor the happiness of others a sacrifice—the very opposite to prudence: the
offspring of delusion: the very opposite of prudence.
