Deontology Private Theoretic Part. Practical Part Plan of the Work
2
Source of Division and Objects of reference I. Theoretic Part
Virtue consists in the practical application of the principle
of Utility upon all occasions. Reference The U principle of Utility, reference is made to Bentham's Introduction
to Morals and Legislation and Benthams Dumont Fract the Legislation &c
Of the principle of Utility application is made in practice by
increase of of the sum of pleasures and or decrease of the
sum of pains. For these, reference is made to Benthams Table of the
Springs of Action.
In the mention made of the pleasures, all mention of the pleasures of the sexual appetite
and appetite is omitted. Pleasure declared or not declared, lest by such mentions the work should
be kept out of the hands
of many in whose instances
it would be of use
Any work in which these
principles were applied
to this subject should
stand separate.
For the modes of maleficence without exposure to the
punishment suffering at the hands of law application is made
of the division arrangement made of Offences in Introd. and Dumont as above
Go in and pick up the other Senses &c from the existing NTS
II Practical Part
Division of Benevolence — and — Beneficence into Negative
and Positive. Negative consists in the avoidance of modes of annoyance:
Positive, in the practice of Modes of Gratification.
Division of Negative Modes of annoyance into
O. physical under and mental modes operating by physical
action physically impressive action impression and in the bodily organs and modes operating by
impression made purely on the mind
N.B To the modes of Gratification this division from this
source is inapplicable: it belongs not to a work such as the
present.
Division of Beneficence, into negative or positive into Beneficence
practicable without self-sacrifice and Beneficence not practicable without self-sacrifice. This
applies as well to negative
as to positive beneficence.
Division of the occasions in which these several the annoyance
and gratification in their several modes may have place
into incidental and permanent: Permanent occasions are those
approved by the several Conditions in life. For these see Introdn. make reference to Bentham
and Dumont Fractis &c
Division of Conditions in life thence of occasions for the practice
of the virtue in question into domestic, and extra-domestic
Division of domestic conditions and occasions into those constituted
by genealogical relatives, and those constituted by incidental relatives.
Genealogical are
— not relations thus by death
— : incidental are but
without death.
