When But even the words which are every day in the
mouth of every man are constantly employed without any
accurate understanding of their precise or real meaning.
Virtue and vice — justice & injustice, what are they? By nothing
but a to in connection with the greatest happiness principle can any clear
or useful application be made of them, — or any of their Whenever
indeed they are employed there is some reference implied or distinct expressed
to one of these principles — the greatest happiness principle, — the
principle directly opposed to it, — that is the ascetic principle, — or the
authority-asserting dogmatic principle of ipse-dixitism. For the
end in view - the standard of right & wrong - must be either happiness or unhappiness, — or else some
opinion which is put forward as sufficient in itself to determine
the standard. The appellative of ipse-dixitism is not a new one —
it comes down to us from an antique & high authority — it is
the principle recognized (so Cicero informs us) by the disciples
of Pythagoras — Ipse (he — the master — Pythagoras) — ipse-dixit —
he has said it — the master has said that it is so — therefore,
say the disciples of the illustrious sage, — therefore so it is.
