Chapter III
Anti-deontological propositions removed – Summum bonum

Before the edifice of moral truth can be erected it is needful to
clear away a vast heap of rubbish which obstructs the
progress of the moral architect. Motives different from those
which utility recognises – ends hostile to those which
utility proposes have been & are the topics of self-elected
moralists. When these are disposed of, the path of the
Deontologist will be clear. Until they are disposed of his
path will be perplexed with their intrusions.

The end of the Deontologist – it cannot be
too often repeated – is happiness. Something then that
was is not happiness – something different, – something
contradistinguished from happiness was proposed by
ancient philosophers. It was the summum bonum.
