In those relations with others where a man's own
happiness is involved – those relations which may be deemed
of extra-regarding prudence, Deontology will teach him to
apply the same happiness producing & misery-avoiding rules of conduct,– & to watch the flux & reflux
of his conduct deportment towards others on his own individual happiness well-being. It.
For until a man's intercourse with other men can be shown to have
some connection with his own felicity, it will be in vain to talk with
him as to the conduct he should pursue towards them. His benevolence
will be the re-action of benefits received or anticipated. Deontology
will instruct him as to the course he should pursue towards
men in general – & show him how his proceedings should be
modified by all those circumstances in his social relations which
demand his peculiar special regard. It will trace out for him those
peculiar duties which as equal, – inferior, – or superior are demanded
from him with a reference to his own individual interests. It
will guide him in his relations connection with those who are habitually
or frequently in contact with him – as well as with those
whom accident may throw in his way – friends – fellow
countrymen – strangers, towards each will it assist him to
measure out that portion of prudential sympathy which
will on the whole lead to the greatest ultimate sum of good.
