Deontology Private - from Chadwick
Effective Benevolence Negative
By perfect gentleman is usually understood a man
perfect in the performance of certain forums
be as the modes of address.
Perfection as a gentleman in the vulgar sense is easily obtainable
by a man of shallow intellect and vicious
morality like George the 4th
Perfect gentility in the best sense of
the term word may be an said he be the mode
of conducting the daily affairs or common
intercourse, so as to maximize the pleasure
or give the greatest happiness.
This mode consists in chiefly in the avoidance
of acts which will excite painful raise
painful associations or give rise to painful
trains of ideas.
Now the mere performance of the fashionable
formulae will not prevent painful trains of
ideas: to do prevent painful trains, the nature of
sense knowledge of the mind is necessary; in
the Quidquid recipitur, recipitur ad modum recipientis
and a perfect gentleman must be a good metaphysician.
That fashionable people are in general
lovers of blind routine that they do not
understand the rationale of politeness might
be proved by innumerable instances. Thus
the person, who would are not in the
mode of his address, by the employment of
a harsh tone give unnecessary pain; some
where often gives extreme and gratuitous pain
by the mode of transacting business, as
by leaving unanswered letters, with respect to which
the writers must be intensely
anxious; keeping manuscripts sporting
wantonly with other people persons
labours, as keeping manuscripts: not
reading them or them manuscripts
and keeping them whilst the owner is
in painful suspense.
A mere man of formula will not frequently not hesitate quarrel
with his family or servants serfs or
stranger or give vent to the irascible
passions before strangers.
