Note (a)
[Reputation] Of the value which in universal experience belongs to reputation
no clear conception can be entertained any clearer
than in so far as this fictions entity it is regarded as a source either
of respect or love or both: namely on the part of others
as towards the individual whose reputation is in question.
Respect in so far as contradistinguished from love, seems to include includes in it the
nature of fear: fear, as of some evil, in general howsoever indeterminate,
as eventually capable of resulting to the one party
him, by whom the respect is entertained from the influence
of the individual who is the object of it: from the influence
which, with or without design he his opinion is regarded as exercising
as capable of exercising on the judgment and conduct
of the Public Opinion Tribunal. True it is, that Considered by itself
without regard to circumstances, fear can not but cause
aversion for its accompaniment: aversion which when
considered regarded as rising risen to a certain degree on the scale
of intensity, is termed hatred. But of the fear in the case here in
question, the degree on the scale is regarded as low, and
in relation to the same person the fear may have love, in any degree of intensity
mixt with it. For, what is not only commonly but
most commonly the case is – that to the individual in
question the conduct or opinion of the same person may be on different one occasion
be the source of evil; or of on another, of good: indeed in
so likewise even on one and the same occasion, according
to the turn it takes, according as it is favorable or unfavorable
to his wishes.
