A treatise on the influence of the passions upon the happiness of individuals and of nations:... The section section of this book is entitled "Of the sentiments that are intermediate between the passions and the resources we possess within ourselves." These sentiments include friendship, parental tenderness, filial piety, conjugal love, and religion itself. They carry with them, in some characters, many of the inconveniences that arise from the passions; while, in other characters, these very same affections bestow most of the advantages that result from the resources we possess within ourselves. The author considers these sentiments as intermediate between the passions that enslave us and the resources which depend on ourselves alone.

Abstract

The section section of this book is entitled "Of the sentiments that are intermediate between the passions and the resources we possess within ourselves." These sentiments include friendship, parental tenderness, filial piety, conjugal love, and religion itself. They carry with them, in some characters, many of the inconveniences that arise from the passions; while, in other characters, these very same affections bestow most of the advantages that result from the resources we possess within ourselves. The author considers these sentiments as intermediate between the passions that enslave us and the resources which depend on ourselves alone.
