Indirect Legislation
§ 3 Inclination
one of the many instances in which the negatives reverses
of theology have spread a veil throown a cloud of error over the
most interesting parts points of knowledge. The purest benevolence
may be productive of the worst effects if when
contracted as to its ends or uncertain as to its
means: The malevolent affection The selfish affections
though upon occasion occasionally the most mischievous
are for a constancy the most necessary: and the
malevolent with all their ugli ugliness are
useful if not necessary safeguards against the encroachments
of the selfish. All this I have elsewhere
shewn at large.
Principles of legisl. Introd.
ch [motives]
There is therefore no such
thing as eradicating evil affections or inclinations
by internal applications: there is no eradicating them
in the lump. [For the most part therefore]
We must content ourselves with operating by external methods. we must content ourselves with working upon
the inclinations affections occasionally and in detail, according
to the direction in which they act, according
to the conduct which they promise to give birth
to. This accordingly is what I have taken for What can be done in this way
To inquire what can be done in this way is the
business of the succeeding chapters from the
to the inclusive. Something also may be done
towards the giving a proper ballance between
these various antagonizing powers: by adding to the force of those
which are apt to want it, as well as by superintending
its their direction. In this way are occupied
chapters sections from to [inclusive.]
