Ethics or Deontology Ch. Universal benevolence
1
Shew how universal benevolence is overborne by a
narrow and more concentrated interest.
How by culture the wider kind more and
more upon the narrower and narrower interest
by which men are led to speak slightingly hostility of universal benevolence & that to
their own selfishness & to obtain pr
of discernment are not suffering
themselves to be duped
to false pretenses of universal
benevolence.
3. Envy of those whom they
see gaining reputation by
universal benevolence.
Ch. or §. Of universal benevolence how far [considered in an exegetical,
and in a deontological point of view]
1 In point of fact universal benevolence is to a
certain degree a natural cause of action
2. In point of right, it may with reason may be affirmed to be altogether a proper cause
of action.
1. Scarcely did can that human being ever exist ever have existed
to whom whom unless when afflicted by the contemplation
of some unfortunate state of circumstances or agitated
by some tumultuous passion, the sight of a fellow
creature though a stranger to him in a state of comfort apparent comfort was
more gratifying to him than the sight of a fellow
creature equally a stranger to him in a state of
apparent sufferance.
2. As this is the case in regard to any one such
fellow creature, so will it be in regard to any two or
more: and though the gratif measure of the gratification
can not be in the same a proportion any thing
like near to equality with that of the numbers of
the fellow creatures in question, yet still along with
the numbers it will receive a certain some increase,
each new addition to the number will naturally
bring with it its increase
