Logic or Ethics Ch Fortitude
Integrity Integrality Pseudo conjugate 2 §. Fortitude
§.1. Relation to primary Virtues
Difficult — in many instances but too difficult — to
know — but at any rate here is something to be known,
and that something worth knowing not ill worth.
The benefit whether to a man's self or to some
other man or set of men is the article to be purchased:
in by exposing him to the charges to which he exposes his it is proposed that
he should expose himself he would pay the price
necessary to be paid for the chance of obtaining that
benefit. Whether the benefit commodity article is worth the price
that must be paid this is the question and the only
question worth considering, whether in case of his exposing
himself to the danger the act which he exercises
in so exposing himself be entitled to the appellation
of an act of fortitude, this is a mere question
of words, a question not worth the words that must necessary to
be expended in the proposing of it.
A question of this sort is not merely useless.
By infer throwing men's a mans ideas into confusion, and
thus eventually leading them him to pursue a line of conduct
adverse to that of his interest or that of his duty
adverse to the interest in question, the tendency of
it is positively pernicious.
The line act of conduct most least conducive to that interest
suppose it understood to merit the appellation
of an act of fortitude. What is the practical consequence?
that fortitude being a virtue, the pernicious line of
conduct in question is that which ought to be pursued
The line of conduct most conducive suppose
it not to merit that appellation of fortitude. What is
the consequence? That not being according to conformable to the idea of virtue, it
belongs to the category of Folly or of vice
