The Secondary Will is therefore an
announcement of a certain conditional allotment of
pleasure or pain dependent upon the

which is the subject of the primary will.

The question now is, how this allotment is
to later affect. The act of Volition really could
not produce if — The Pain Pleasure

by physical instruments. The physical in-
strumentability of some person must therefore

we have delineated /sketched out our idea of it: if it
is clear and accurate, we shall see preferably without

determine the right of making laws, carry
no such pretensions on the face of it.
It even disclaims it: Just as it is as useful

The principle of present is to know what a law is when
it is made, that is to understand its contents:
