For whether the passion of self-interest be esteemed vicious or virtuous, it is all a case; since itself alone restrains it: So that if it be virtuous, men become social by their virtue; if vicious, their vice has the same effect. SECT. VII OF VICE AND VIRTUE Where these angry passions rise up to cruelty, they form the most detested of all vices. The discussion of this question will be more proper, when we enter upon an exact detail of each particular vice and virtue. Where these angry passions rise up to cruelty, they form the most detested of all vices. Where the justice is entire, the property is also entire: Where the justice is imperfect, the property must also be imperfect And vice versa, if the property admit of no such variations, they must also be incompatible with justice. The pain and pleasure, therefore, being the primary causes of vice and virtue, must also be the causes of all their effects, and consequently of pride and humility, which are the unavoidable attendants of that distinction. Ideas always represent their objects or impressions; and vice versa, there are some objects necessary to give rise to every idea.
