§. 81 Chapter 2
Self-regarding Prudence

Having thus traversed with somewhat wandering footsteps and general the domains upon which the Deontological
traiter is a labor of practical morality, so as to present
somewhat of a general view of the system which utility inculcates
– having shown, or attempted to show that after all there
are only two classes of virtues – the prudential & the
beneficent – it only remains to develope that mental
discipline by which prudence & beneficence may be made
most efficient for the creation of felicity. As Prudence
naturally it has been shown naturally divides itself into
two departments – the first that Prudence with which others have nothing
to do – that which refers to conduct actions whose influences do
not reach beyond the actor – in a word that which belongs to the
individual in his relations with himself & not in his relations
with Society – & the second, that Prudence which is
demanded from him in consequence of his intercourse with
others – a prudence which is closely connected with benevolence
& especially with abstential benevolence. The claims of
purely self-regarding prudence claim first demand attention first – the
subject is less embarrassed by complication – the power of the
suf individual over himself is more complete – the estimate
of pain & pleasure is more immediately in the accessible to
the party concerned – and the clearing away any light thrown upon this portion
of the subject will perhaps relieve the rest of some of
its seeming embarrassments.
