Article on Utilitarianism.
Copy34.
Ipse dixit equally
commodious with utility
as to conjugates —
dixitists, dixitism, dixitical.
Ipse dixit shares with utility the advantage
of being a sort of stock on whh., for the purpose of accommodatg.
the radical idea to the various ramificatns. forms whh. requisite to the business
of discourse, conjugates may, in any number be grafted. Thus,
as utility lends itself to utilise yields utilitarian, & utilitarianism, so does would ipse dixit
to ipse dixitists, ipse dixitical, & ipse dixitism. Of the great<hi rend="superscript">t.
happiness principle the texture is not thus felicitous:
the substantive & with its adjective before it will not thus
coalesce into one word capable of its receiving its cluster
of grammatical conjugates.
35.
In this respect perhaps
felicity better than hapss.,
with the additn. of maximizing
or maximizatn.
Felicity, the Latin-bred word for the same idea
would in this respect serve better than the
Teutonic-bred word happiness. Of logical conjugates it
has already felicitous & felicitate. It might be
made to have felicitists, felicitism, & felicitarianism:
but the requisite, not to say necessary, adjunctitious
idea associated with the word greatest, wd.
in this case be still wanting. Felicity-maximizing,
or felicity-maximizat<hi rend="superscript">n. principle, are
denominatns. not incapable of being proposed for
consideratn. as candidates for the honour of being
employed for this same purpose: for although in both these
cases the appellatn. is composed of two distinct words,
yet these coalesce with little if any less facility
than the two words ipse dixit, whh. for a
time beyond the memory of man have in this
their combined and conjugal form had place in the
language.
