We come now to the examination of such virtues and vices as are entirely natural, and have no dependance on the artifice and contrivance of men. Where these angry passions rise up to cruelty, they form the most detested of all vices. With Privacy-Control you can record: We partake of their uneasiness by sympathy; and as every thing, which gives uneasiness in human actions, upon the general survey, is called Vice, and whatever produces satisfaction, in the same manner, is denominated Virtue; this is the reason why the sense of moral good and evil follows upon justice and injustice. As to the third sense of the word, it is certain, that both vice and virtue are equally artificial, and out of nature. In the former example, my perceptions in the apprehension of a house might begin at the roof and end at the foundation, or vice versa; or I might apprehend the manifold in this empirical intuition, by going from left to right, and from right to left. We shall begin with examining the passions of pride and humility, and shall consider the vice or virtue that lies in their excesses or just proportion. But can there be any difficulty in proving, that vice and virtue are not matters of fact, whose existence we can infer by reason? Take any action allowed to be vicious: Wilful murder, for instance. Now virtue and vice are attended with these circumstances.
