1. The Criterion of Morality Hume finds to be, so far as transitive or social acts are concerned, Utility; Utility, however, being only a means towards an end, and that end being the happiness and interests of society. The happiness and interests of society, accordingly, are the end and criterion of the Eight in all social acts. Similarly, those acts which are not social have for their end and criterion the happiness and interests of the individual.
2. The foundation of what may be distinctivel
...y called the ' Morality' of acts, viz. , their appro vableness, or the reverse, is, (a. ) in the case of acts social, the 74 David Hume.
Sentiment of Humanity or Benevolence, which is the source of the pleasure we feel when acts are seen to attain the useful end. Sometimes it is merely the agreeable feeling which we have on seeing them in operation. But here Hume is manifestly loose in his analysis; for all cases of the 'agreeable' in the matter of transitive acts are resolvable into the satisfaction of the sentiment of Humanity.
