Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Emilius and Sophia, or a New System of Education, Vol. 3: Translated From the French If ever such doctrines should take rise among us, the voice of nature as well as of reason would check their growth, and leave not even one of those who inculcate them the simple excuse of being sincere. "It is not my design here to enter into such metaphysical investigations, as surpass both your capacity and mine, and which in fact are useless, I have already told you I would not talk philosophy to you, but-only assist you to conduct your own heart. Were all the philosophers in Europe to prove me in the wrong, yet, if you were sensible I was in the right, I should desire nothing more. "To this end you need only to distinguish between our acquired ideas, and our natural sentiments, for we are sensible before we are intelligent; and, as we do not learn to desire our own good and to avoid what is evil, but possess this desire immediately from nature, so the love of virtue and hatred of vice are as natural as the love of ourselves. The operations of conscience are not intellectual, but sentimental for though all our ideas are acquired from without, the sentiments which estimate them arise from within: and it is by these alone, that we know the agreement or disagreement which exists between us and those things which we ought to seek or shun.
