Plan of Part I Theory of Morality
Morality — Order expressed by Deontology. Deontology then indicative
of what is proper to be done
All Deontology reducible to the practice of Virtue and avoidance
of Vice
All Virtues reduce are modifications of reducible to
Prudence on the one hand, or Benevolence and Beneficence on
the other All Vices to Imprudence, Malevolence and Maleficence
All other Virtues are either modifications of, or subservient
to the end, of, Prudence or Benevolence and Beneficence.
Beginning with stating the
Ground of this Division. The persons, whose interest each individual has
to consider are 1. himself: 2. all others in the lump
Self-regard — its predominance — universal existence of this from
dimin — its necessity to the existence of the species — Sympathy
for others its origin in self-regard: Yet in the instance
of no individual has it perhaps been ever altogether wanting the
proportion of its force to that of self-regard increases as mental no iteration
improvement increases
No inducements to Beneficence can either be created or be brought
to view, but through the medium of self-regarding Prudence.(a)
Division of Beneficence
(a) Memorm. In the Practical part this topic had perhaps better be omitted,
unless it be advisable to insert it, for the purpose of promoting indulgence
to others, and checking ungrounded and not probably fulfillable or
expectation of self-sacrificing benefits at their hands
