Greatest happiness
principle and its opposite
direct and indirect
64.
This being the only principle
conducive to gt. happiness
any proposition exhibiting
any other ultimate end — is
self-contradictory.
If in public as well as in private life the greatest happiness principle be the only
principle the observance of which affords any promise of
being conducive to the maximum of the quantity of happiness in the community
[+] if the maximum
of happiness be the
only ultimate end in view
the pursuit of which
to which application is made of it, a proposition
exhibiting to view any other word or phrase in the character
of an appellative of any other ultimate end in
view is little if any thing different from and 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 greatest happiness principle be the only
self alledged proffered guide to human conduct in every walk
public and well as private of human conduct, which can
with propriety truth be stated as a right one, every other of
guide which can be proffered for that same purpose, every other such proffered
guide by whatsoever appellative denominated can
not be any thing better than an improper or wrong one
66.
A principle not subordinate
to this may be opposed
to it in two way
diametrically or collaterally.
Qui non sub me contra
me.
There are two modes or ways in which a principle not subordinate
to the greatest happiness principle, may be acting in opposition
to it: the one is by acting in direct or any diametrical
opposition to it: this is what the principle stated
the ascetic principle would be if it all comprehensive and consistent:
[+] for by this, as far as
it goes unhappiness
is declared to be the
only proper end in view
in the other case is every principle other than the
greatest happiness principle and the ascetic principle: in this
case though in a state not of a state diametrical opposition state of oppostion
which in this case may be stated indirect or collateral
is this same third of all possibly assignable principles
Qui non sub me contra me — he who is not under me is
against me may be said with figurative metaphorical truth by the greatest
happiness principle with literal truth by every partizan of the
greatest
greatest happiness principle,
speaking as such.
Not the arrogance of
disposition is this declaration
the result, but of the nature
of things: and the necessity of the case. No such sentiment as that of unkindness towards a partozen of either of the opposite principles is either a necessary or a natural accompaniment
of it. I
