Article on Utilitarianism.
Copy. 25

Greatest happiness
principle & its oppositn.
direct & indirect.64.
This being the only
principle conducive to
happiness any proposition
exhibiting any other
ultimate end is
self-contradictory.
If in public as well as private life the greatt.
happss. prince. be the only principle the observance
of whh.affords any promise of being conducive to the
maximum of the quantity of happinss. in the
community to whh. applicn. is made of it, a propositn.
exhibiting to view any other word or phrase in the
character of an appellatn. of any other ultimate
end in view is little if any thing different from
& better than a self-contradictory one.
65.
If this principle be
the only guide to
conduct public &
private, any other
must be improper.
If the greatt. happss. prine. be the only self-proposed
alleged guide to human conduct in every walk
public as well as private of human conduct, which
can with propriety truth be styled stated as a right one,
every other guide whh. can be proffered for that same
purpose, every other such proffered guide by
whatsoever appellative denominate cannot be any
thing better than an improper or wrong one.
66.
A principle not
subordinate to this may
be opposed to it in two
ways, diametrically
& or collaterally. Qui non
sub me contra me.
There are two modes or say ways in whh. a
principle not subordinate to the greatt. happss.
prince., may be acting in oppositn. to it: the
one is by acting in direct or say in diametrical
oppositn. to it: this is what the principle
stiled the ascetic principle wd. be if it
all-comprehensive & consistent; in the other case is every
principle other than the greatt. happss. prince.
& the ascetic prince. in this case in a state though
not of diametrical oppositn. still of oppositn. whh.
in this case may be stiled indirect or collateral
is this same . of all possible
assignable principles. Qui non sub me contra
me — he who is not under me is against me
may be said with metaphorical figurative truth by the
greatt. happss. prine. with literal truth by
every partisan of the greatest happiness principle, speaking as such.
Not of arrogance of dispositn. is this declaratn.
the result, but of the nature of things & of the
necessity of the case. No such statemt as that of
unkindness towards a partisan of either of the
opposite principles is either a necessary or
a natural accompanimt. of it.
