Pride and Vanity
Pride and vanity — neither exclusively virtues nor do vices —
more apt to be considered as vices especially when their conjugates
proud and vain are employed.
Ordo
24 Dec. 1814 Quere notwithstanding the intimacy of the relation quere whether
for simplicity of conception, in rewriting it might not be better to consider
one of them at a time: explaining that first, and then the other with reference to it.
Ch. Of Pride and Vanity.
Pride and Vanity, if they be both of them explained,
must, to be clearly explained, be explained together.
For the explanation of them, the same medium
of explanation will be seen to be necessary. This is the
popular or moral sanction: including the pleasures
and the pains, and, consequently, the interests, desires,
and motives, which belong to it: the desires; and, consequently,
esteem — the ideal possession, which is the
object of those desires.
Esteem — the esteem of that portion of the human
race upon which his well-being is regarded by
him them as in any way depending is, to the proud man,
and the vain man, the common object of their thoughts.
With regard to each of them, two questions are continually
presenting themselves: two questions — having,both of them
an indisputable a manifest influence on practice. Pride — 1 Is it of the
nature of virtue, or of the nature of vice?: if of the nature
of virtue, of what virtue?: if of the nature of vice, of what
vice. And so in regard to Vanity.
