Thus, pure reason, which at first seemed to promise us nothing less than the extension of our cognition beyond the limits of experience, is found, when thoroughly examined, to contain nothing but regulative principles, the virtue and function of which is to introduce into our cognition a higher degree of unity than the understanding could of itself.

 We may presume the like with regard to all the other virtues, which have a like tendency to the public good. SECT. I JUSTICE, WHETHER A NATURAL OR ARTIFICIAL VIRTUE? The most probable hypothesis, which has been advanced to explain the distinction betwixt vice and virtue, and the origin of moral rights and obligations, is, that from a primary constitution of nature certain characters and passions, by the very view and contemplation, produce a pain, and others in like manner excite a pleasure. That many of the natural virtues have this tendency to the good of society, no one can doubt of. If we abstract our internal intuition of ourselves and all external intuitions, possible only by virtue of this internal intuition and presented to us by our faculty of representation, and consequently take objects as they are in themselves, then time is nothing. To have the sense of virtue, is nothing but to feel a satisfaction of a particular kind from the contemplation of a character. These actions are properly what we call justice; and consequently it is on that virtue that the nature of property depends, and not the virtue on the property.
