Deontology Theoretical Ch. Pride & Vanity

7

In this same situation Contrary to in this respect to those of pride are the suggestions
of Vanity. In consequence of the ever-craving appetite he has
for esteem — an appetite and that an ever craving one — he
fond feels a constant demand — [a demand at the hands
of every one without distinction] for services of a certain
cast: for these services to est, by which demonstrations manifestations of
esteem are made.

In that station accordingly such is the tendency which
vanity has to dispose men to benevolence and beneficence.
Accordingly of those acts which all p the upon the four of them have
nature blew efficient cause in benevolence — that is in
social sympathy, whether sentimental or reflective, have ever
questionable in a very great part though it is impossible not possible
to say in what part their efficient cause in the self-
regarding affection — of vanity.

The effects of the act in question upon human
feelings being given, whether it be in benevolence alone
or in vanity alone, or in both together, and in that case
in what this or that proportion that it has its efficient cause, is not
worth thinking regarding in regard of. But whereas the dictates of neither in this part of the field nor in any
of thought and action nor in any other do the dictates of
utility the popular or moral sanction maintain a perfect coincidence with those of the
dictates of utility, hence it is that vanity will not
be the whole extent to which it operates, answer the purpose
of and supersede the demand for benevolence and beneficence.
