in utilitarian philosophy. The operations of motives on
conduct had been most lucidly explained in the Introduction to
Morals & Legislation - motives the source of action in all its
modifications are brought into association with all the pleasures
& pains they are able to influence, - a motive, in fact, being only
the fear of some pain from a certain mode of action, which
pain the will is urged to avoid, - or the hope of a pleasure
which the will is urged to create - The "Springs of Action" did
for interests what the "Introduction" did for motives - they
too also draw the distinction between motives & desires
To each desire he Bentham attached the names of adjectives by which the desire had
been qualified in order to suit the purpose of the speakers or
writers, who had occasion to refer to it either in terms of praise
or blame, - the very same desire having ordinarily three
designations, - one laudatory - one vituperatory & the other

epithet dyslogistic; as a synonym he might
have added disapprobative: and for the designation
of the case in which to the idea of app
desire the idea of approbation as existing in the
mind of him who was is speaking of it was is attached,
he employed the epithet eulogistic; as
a synonym he might have added approbative.
