To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Personal satisfaction should be starved to the last degree in the endeavor not to love ourselves at all. Comte, says Mill, adapting Novalis's characterization of Spinoza, was a morality-intoxicated man. ' Mill's own view is in a sense a synthesis of the two opposing ethical theories: the egoistic hedonism of Bentham and the equally one- sided altruism of Comte. He does, it is true, set the egoistic and altruistic impulses over against one another as conflict- ing, not as involving each other. M...y self-regarding and other-regarding acts can be tabulated, — a proceeding ex- ceedingly difficult in practice. But he also maintains a relation between them other than that of mutual negation; he holds that a reasonable gratification of the egoistic feel- ings is favorable to the growth of benevolent affections. "The moralization of the personal enjoyments we deem to consist, not in reducing them to the smallest possible amount, but in cultivating the habitual wish to share them with others, and with all others, and scorning to desire anything for oneself which is incapable of being so shared.
