ence would be as much as to say to be under a duty to recognize duties. For conscience is practical reason which, in every case of law, holds before a man his duty for acquittal or condemnation; consequently it does not refer to an object,Dame Moncler Melina, but only to the subject (affecting the moral feeling by its own act); so that it is an inevitable fact, not an obligation and duty. When,CG Menn Macmillan Parka, therefore, it is said, "This man has no conscience," what is meant is that he pays no heed to its dictates. For if he really had none,Manchester City Drakt, he would not take credit to himself for anything done according to duty,Menn Moncler Eric, nor reproach himself with violation of duty,Infants Erin Baby Czyścibut, and therefore he would be unable even to conceive the duty of having a conscience.
I pass by the manifold subdivisions of conscience, and only observe what follows from what has just been said, namely,Luxury Boulder, that there is no such thing as an erring conscience. No doubt it is possible sometimes to err in the objective judgement whether something is a duty or not; but I cannot err in the subjective whether I have compared it with my practical (here judicially acting) reason for the purpose of that judgement: for if I erred I would not have exercised practical judgement at all, and in that case there is neither truth nor error. Unconscientiousness is not want of conscience, but the propensity not to heed its judgement. But when a man is conscious of having acted according to his conscience, then, as far as regards guilt or innocence, nothing more can be required of him,Colombia Drakt Damer, only he is bound to enlighten his understanding as to what is duty or not; but when it comes or has come to action, then conscience speaks involuntarily and inevitably. To act conscientiously can, therefore, not be a duty, since otherwise it would be necessary to have a second conscience, in order to be conscious of the act of the first.
The duty here is only to cultivate our conscience, to quicken our attention to the voice of the internal judge, and to use all means to secure obedience to it, and is thus our indirect duty.
C,NBA Spillere. OF LOVE TO MEN
Love is a matter of feeling,TolucaCD Drakt, not of will or volition, and I cannot love because I will to do so, still less because I ought (I cannot be necessitated to love); hence there is no such thing as a duty to love. Benevolence, however (amor benevolentiae), as a mode of action, may be subject to a law of duty. Disinterested benevolence is often called (though very improperly) love; even where the happiness of the other is not concerned,Peuterey Męskie Kurtka, but the complete and free surrender of all one's own ends to the ends of another (even a superhuman) being,Bailey Czyścibut 100217, love is spoken of as being also our duty. But all duty is necessitation or constraint, although it may be self-constraint according to a law. But what is done from constraint is not done from love.
It is a duty to do good to other men according to our power, whether we love them or not, and this duty loses nothing of its weight,Moncler Lans, although we must make the sad remark that our species, alas! is not such as to be found particularly worthy of love when we know it
