Deontology Private
1. Power. 2. opulence. 3. rea reputation. 4. factitious dignity
Of those possessions that in regard to which the relations
of superiority and inferiority by are most obvious, most
readily conceived simple to conception, more early in respect of their existence and have place to the greatest extent
is power.
Of superiority and inferiority in respect of power the earliest
that which is first in time and necessity is that between
mother and infant child. The po
The power in this case is most absolute. At every
moment the child is absolutely dependant on the mother for
its existence.
Its existence is most necessary, the child can come
into existence without bearing standing in the relation of
the existence of a determinate mother: without without the existence of
a determinate individual towards whom with reference to it bears this
relation of greatest extreme inferiority and absolute dependence.
No woman can become a mother without having a child: without giving existence
to a determinate individual with reference to whom it
bears this relation of extreme superiority and absolute power.
By These observations will be apt to appear trivial and
trifling. The obviousness of this truth when presented is the
cause of that appearance. Yet in the conception of those
by whom this part of the field of knowledge has been touched
upon not those but others which have no such truth
seem to have occupied this place.
For an example Of primæval and necessary and absolute superior
subject of power of superiority in the highest degree the relation between father and child has
by some been taken for an example. But where the
same woman has at times nearly contiguous had sexual intercourse
with two or any greater number of men and
at the end of the usual length of time bears a child, the father may
is be altogether indeterminate: there is in
that case no power
between and the
child this power of correspondent
relation can have place.
