Relation of emotion, affection, passion, and humour to
pleasure & pain & thereby to one another.
An act is said to be the result or effect of an emotion
when the motive by which it is considered regarded as produced is a pleasure
or pain considered regarded as transient.
— of an affection when it is regarded as the result of a permanent
or say an habitual state of mind in which sympathy
or antipathy towards the object in question and thence consequently
the pleasures and pains corresponding to them are regarded
as frequently having place.
Motives – purity of motives. Sources of the indefatigable pretensions
fr on this head. 1. Strength of self regarding affection on
the part of the speaker or writer. 2. Perception of the prodigious
strength of authority – of authority begotten prejudice – of the
magnitude of the part which derivative judgement has – of the
smallness of the part which indigenous self-formed judgement has – in the
determination of human conduct, upon the whole.
Order. 1. Prudence (self regarding) 2. Justice. 3. Beneficence
and Benevolence. Prudence first: because 1 self regarding affection
is more necessary than sympathetic is to men with relation
to existence & thence to happiness: to men in general, therefore
to every man. The subject is more simple: to wit one human
being alone viz in the first instance. But Prudence will be to be
divided into 1 purely self regarding, 2 extra regarding: self regarding
as exercised where the welfare of no other person is at stake.
