Deontology Theoretical Ch. Pride & Vanity

2

To thicken the confusion, by the side of pride, elevation
of mind, meanness and humility, comes and seats itself
independence-of-mind.

For dispelling as far as they are capable of being
dispelled, all these clouds, there is but the nature of the case [+]
[+] in addition to
the universally applicable
instruments
the division of Virtue
into Prudence and
Benevolence

affords one and but one
instrument — the distinction between the desire and motive corresponding
to the pleasures and pains of the popular or moral
sanction, and the motive corresponding to the pleasures
and pains of amity — i.e. viz. the desire of ingratiating ones
self namely not with persons at large indeterminate individuals in one or the other
case, but with determinate individuals.

Between the two desires, there are conflict will frequently
be found to have place, they prescribing different and
opposite lines of conduct: by which of them conduct shall
be determined it will be for prudence to decide. See
Practical Part, 1st. Prudence Self-regarding Prudence. As for Benevolence,
it will scarcely in these cases will it be found to have
any application.

As to humility, in so far as the conduct belonging
to it comes under the head of virtue, it that which
is designated by it taken in its most extensive acceptation seems to be a modification of benevolence,
that sort of negative namely that branch of benevolence of the negative cast, kind, which viz
stands considered as opposed to self- the so comprehensive view
of self- c comprehendible under the name of selfishness.
