Chapter XX
Conclusion

To what does all we have been advocating tend? To the
development of two principles, – first the greatest happiness
principle, – or the diffusion of good – & secondly, the
disappointment-preventingopposing principle, or the prevention of evil.
Out of these two items all the branches of morality grow.

It may be objected that all our reasonings have
not brought our principles into the field of demonstration. What then?
If our arguments should so regulate conduct as to produce a
result which will leave no regret behind it what more have
we reason to desire? Are they strong enough to communicate
that balance of pleasure towards which they tend and to which
alone they look? What else better should they do?

reason to desire. Whether they be of that kind to which we have
been accustomed to give the name of the intuition, or only of the
demonstrative, or only of the probable, it is no matter – the satisfaction
they give us is perfect, and whatever it was, it could be no
more.

Give them the name of demonstration or any other, what matters
it? It is not the name we are concerned in but the thing.
