Indirect Legislation
Satisfying
Enjoyments might
to be taken into account
pro: but
are the real reasons
con.
All this while no account is taken of those
enjoyments which constitute the inducement
that seduces leads people into this corner of life:
enjoyments which as to the main & fundamental
article are precisely the same as with those which
form the basis of that regular connection which
the law protects with so high a hand. But
these enjoyments are the very article which
in the prin upon the principle of asceticism,
and in the eyes of the herd of moralizers, constitute
the mischief. At bottom It is the pleasure they their
quarrel is with, not the pain: the former is
often the real reason, when where the latter is the ostensible.
