Logic or Ethics
6 Sept 1814. 3. 3.
§3 Ought it not?
§.3. His own Well-being ought it ever to cease to be the object of a
Object of pursuit to man—what the actual—what the proper
any man's pursuit? Ought & ought not, what.
Well-being, composed of the maximum of pleasure comfort minus
the minimum of pain uneasiness at both is the natural object of pursuit
to every man at all times.
1. Can it ever fail cease not to be?
2. Ought it ever On any occasion to cease so to be?
3. If it can not ever cease to so to be then what
1. Can it ever cease
(it may be asked) can ever be the use of this or any other literary discourse
the subject of Ethics?
1. In the instance of any man Can it ever fail or cease so to be? {The answer
is} clearly and decidedly unhesitatingly, and exclusively of all exception, the answer is in the negative.
2. Ought it ever to cease so to be? the answer will
be liable to be different, according to the nature and extent of the interest
will as it is the party whose interest i.e. when well being
is the considered as the preferable object of regard is the individual
himself alone, or mankind at large the society the society
of which he is considered as a member.
But in the first place this word ought—what on this occasion
is meant by it?
Ought expounded
Answer. What by myself is meant by it is altogether
clear to me. If to the other preceding question my answer
is his own happiness well being ought on every occasion to be the
chief sole object of pursuit to every man what I mean by
it is that the conduct of him who on every occasion
takes his own happiness well being for the sole object of his pursuit is approved by
me: approved by me, in so much that, were it in my power if it depended upon me, {the object
of his pursuit should not be any other} his pursuit should not
on any occasion have any other object
