Quote by Joseph Butler
The private interest of the individual would not be sufficiently provided for by reasonable and cool self-love alone therefore the appetites and passions are placed within as a guard and further security, without which it would not be taken due care of.
Summary
This quote suggests that merely relying on self-interest alone is not enough to ensure individual well-being. Instead, our natural desires and emotions are intrinsic mechanisms that serve as a safeguard and added protection. These desires and passions compel us to prioritize our own needs and take proper care of ourselves, enhancing our overall security and satisfaction.
