FIRST SECTION

TRANSITION FROM THE COMMON RATIONAL KNOWLEDGE OF

MORALITY TO THE PHILOSOPHICAL

Nothing can possibly be conceived in the world, or even out of it,

which can be called good, without qualification, except a good will.

Intelligence, wit, judgement, and the other talents of the mind,

however they may be named, or courage, resolution, perseverance, as

qualities of temperament, are undoubtedly good and desirable in

many respects; but these gifts of nature may also become extremely

bad and mischievous if the will which is to make use of them, and

which, therefore, constitutes what is called character, is not good. It is

the same with the gifts of fortune. Power, riches, honour, even health,

and the general well-being and contentment with one’s condition

which is called happiness, inspire pride, and often presumption, if

there is not a good will to correct the influence of these on the mind,

and with this also to rectify the whole principle of acting and adapt it

to its end. The sight of a being who is not adorned with a single

feature of a pure and good will, enjoying unbroken prosperity, can

never give pleasure to an impartial rational spectator. Thus a good

will appears to constitute the indispensable condition even of being

worthy of happiness.
