Ch. Of the relations between man and man: and
of the correspondent situations.
§. 1
In regard to the relations between man and man
may be considered, 1. the relations themselves; 2. their
respective causes, efficient causes.
The relations themselves are either, 1. of the most general
description having power in all applicable to all men or 2. of some particular description.
Those of most general description are the relations
of superiority, inferiority, and equality.
Superiority and inferiority support either other: neither
can have place without the other: equality is the absence
or negative of both.
Superiority and inferiority have place reference to suppose the
existence of and have place with reference to and of in so
far as understood, must be understood with reference to some
object of po human possession usually considered as desirable,
i.e. as being to the possessor a source of good, of pleasure or exemption
from pain: The different quantities of which this object
is susceptible may be considered in exhibited so many
distinguishable degrees rising one above another on a scale: on a scale of superiority
and inferiority.
