By his own interest – viz and even by his own self-regarding
interest i.e. or by that which pru in that character
presents itself to his view, will, on every occasion the conduct
of every man be determined. But by what brand
of his own interest? It has just been seen that in every man's
self-regarding interest there are two branches: one, indeed
alliance with in a state of competition with and opposition
to the body of his extra regarding interest, but the others another
in alliance with and acting in support of it.
In proportion Proportioned to the degree in which extra regarding
interest⊞ ⊞ i.e. that part of his self-regarding which operates acts in alliance with extra regarding predominates in his breast will he be disposed inclined to render
preserve his conduct in a state of subserviency to the well-being
of those to whose lot it happens to be within the
range of his action activity.
But it is only in so far as it is present to his
mind, that by the action of any interest whatsoever a man's
conduct is determined: and by a variety of circumstances
the elementary interests of which that branch of a man's extra regarding self-regarding
interest interests which is are in alliance with interests of other men
and thence with his self extra regarding interest are kept
from being so manifest, and in general from being acting so efficient as
those of which the
purely self-regarding
branch of his self-regarding
interest is composed.
