The Passions

The Passions

For the nature of the Passions, reference refer will
be to be made to the list of Pleasures & Pains:
for the principles by which they are to be governed,
to the list of virtues and vices.

Take for example the Passion of anger.
When operated upon by that passion, a man
is suffering a pain, — a pain of mind produced
by the consideration of the act of some other
person — of an act by which the passion has
been excited.

Of the pain thus suffered one consequence is
a desire to produce in the breast of the party
by whom the anger has been excited, a pain
in some shape or other according to circumstances.
These then are two constant ingredients
in the case of anger, — pain suffered by one
viz. the angry man, — a desire to produce
pain in another, viz. the person by whom
he has been made angry.

Now as to the virtues and vices which
have place application to the case, viz. the
two all comprehensive virtues and the two
vices their respective opposites.

In the first place no anger without pain
but to do anything by which a man
draws pain upon himself, that pain not
being compensated and over balanced by more
than equivalent pleasure, is what can not
be done without imprudence; without
violation of the law of self regarding
prudence.
