Intellectual Faculties
Between the intellectual faculties and virtue and vice there exists
an intimate relation. They Wherever the will has any influence
on their direction they belong to the moral field – and in as far as
it is in the power of the will to add to their efficiency they become
instruments of pain & pleasure, – and important in the proportion of the amount
the pain & pleasure which their exercise is able to produce.
The faculty of invention, for instance, belongs to
the understanding – it is intellectual – but according whether called
it is an instrument in the hands of virtue or vice depends upon its
application to purposes beneficent or maleficent.
