more closely. Hatred of men, however, is always hateful: even though without any active hostility it consists only in complete aversion from mankind (the solitary misanthropy). For benevolence still remains a duty even towards the manhater, whom one cannot love, but to whom we can show kindness.
To hate vice in men is neither duty nor against duty, but a mere feeling of horror of vice, the will having no influence on the feeling nor the feeling on the will. Beneficence is a duty. He who often practises this, and sees his beneficent purpose succeed, comes at last really to love him whom he has benefited. When, therefore, it is said: "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself," this does not mean, "Thou shalt first of all love, and by means of this love (in the next place) do him good"; but: "Do good to thy neighbour, and this beneficence will produce in thee the love of men (as a settled habit of inclination to beneficence)."
The love of complacency (amor complacentiae,) would therefore alone be direct. This is a pleasure immediately connected with the idea of the existence of an object, and to have a duty to this, that is, to be necessitated to find pleasure in a thing, is a contradiction.
D. OF RESPECT
Respect (reverentia) is likewise something merely subjective; a feeling of a peculiar kind not a judgement about an object which it would be a duty to effect or to advance. For if considered as duty it could only be conceived as such by means of the respect which we have for it. To Italy Dame Fodboldtrøjer have a duty to this, therefore, would be as much as to say to be bound in duty to have a duty. When, therefore, it is said: "Man has Chelsea Fodboldtrøjer a duty of self-esteem," this is improperly stated, and we ought rather to say: "The law Saudi Arabia Fodboldtrøjer within him inevitably forces from him respect for his own being, and this feeling (which is of a peculiar kind) is a basis of certain duties, that is, of certain actions Herre Parajumpers Right Hand Parka which may be consistent with his duty to himself." But we cannot Peru Fodboldtrøjer say that he has a duty of respect for himself; for he must have respect for the law within himself, in order to be able to conceive duty at all.
XIII. General Principles of the Metaphysics of Morals in the treatment of Pure Ethics
First. A duty can have only a single ground of obligation; and if two or more proof PJS Miehet Kodiak of it are adduced, this is a certain mark that either no valid proof has Los Angeles Galaxy yet been given, or that there are several distinct duties which have been Ryssland Børn Fodboldtrøjer regarded as one.
For all moral proofs, Converse British Flag being philosophical, can only be drawn by means of rational knowledge from concepts, not like mathematics, through the construction of concepts. The latter science admits a variety of proofs of one and the same theorem; because in intuition a priori there may be several properties of an object, all of which lead back to the very same principle. Herre Parajumpers Desert Dunjakker If, for instance, to prove the duty of veracity, an Tottenham argument is drawn first from the harm that a lie causes New Zealand Pelipaidat to other men; another from the worthlessness of a liar and the violation of his own self-respect, what is proved in the former argument is alinks:
