Ch. Justice

Ch. or §. of [Justice] — how resolvable reducible into prudence, and probity its relation to coincidence with probity
or and beneficence.
Virtues Intrinsically useful virtues, three: viz. Prudence, Probity
and Beneficence.
The other virtues, no other than subservient: their utility being derived
from and dependent on that of the three intrinsically useful
ones — which, it will here be observed was the division made of
the aggregate mass of virtues
Of Justice, then (it may naturally be asked) what
shall be said? Is this too but a subservient subordinate virtue? if so,
to what one or more of the above three intrinsically useful ones
is it thus subordinate?
Answer. Before the art of Logic was came into the
world, and in particular before the baseness art of arrangement was brought into a state approaching to
that of correctness
and compleatness
world, ideas respecting virtue, and names designative of
those ideas were made up. The relations between them
between Virtue and Virtue were vague and obscure the descriptions of them indeterminate complex: the points
of coincidence and difference indeterminate. Logically
speaking they are disparate, mathematically speaking they
are incommensurable.
To the Aristotelians it is that we are indebted for such
definitions or expositions as have been given of the several
virtues. Of these virtues several there are that have
been divided into species. Examine them, and in several
instances you will find that [+]
[+] under one and the
same genus a name
species are exhibited
which have no assignable
relation to one another,
Species in some of which
the character of the Genus is not to be found.
the modification ranked under
the name of one virtue agree not with the definitive genera of that
virtue but with the definition given of some others.
The Linnaeus of Natural History we have the world has had for some time past: the Linnaeus of Ethics
is yet to come.
