Ch: 1? Self regarding

Uncogniscible Acts of an uncogniscible nature may be distinguished
into 1. those which have no material consequences; 2. those
which have material consequences.

In so far as an act is uncogniscible, and unattended
by any material consequences it lies within the province of
mere task task alone, and not within that of deontology or morality
Take any one such act a man is perfectly free on each occasion whether to
perform it or not: whichever part he takes he can not
do amiss. An apple of his own being before him and no danger of indigestion having place, he may cut it or not
cut it: an apple and a pear being before him, he may cut the apple first or the pear.

In so far as an act is attended with material consequences
, it lies within the dominion of deontology or morality.
Here may be two conflicting interests, the interest of the moment, and
the interest of the rest of life Here accordingly come in and
have place the temptation and the call for sacrifice: the sacrifice of
the present to the contingent future, or of the contingent future to the present

in the case of the apple Of As between the two sensations concerned, which is of the greatest in value?
the present immediate gratification that would be obtained by the cutting of the
apple, or the future uneasiness in the shape of produced by indigestion? If Suppose
there is no danger of indigestion to have place, then no demand for sacrifice
can have place, if there is suppose danger of indigestion to have place
there comes the demand for comparative estimate of value,
and according to the reported balance, the demand for self sacrifice

Here for familiarization, in the way of compleat statement, or
only in the way of allusion, bring in the story of Eve's apple.
