To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
David Hume's conception of it as that which is soci- ally useful is much nearer the actual meaning ; but it implies that it is an extrinsic value. Plato's conception of it, as implying the balanced or harmonious functioning of the factors of the individual nature or the social MORAL VALUES 195 organism, might be associated with Hume's view. Yet, the conviction that justice as equality or as intrinsic good is unrealisable may be the ground for that particular form of the virtue of benevolence, c...alled forgiveness. Similarly it has been supposed that the virtue of purity is only extrinsic, as an attitude and mode of conduct leading to good physical and intellectual consequences, or at least, prevent- ing some particular bad consequences. The ver- dict of tradition and of introspection, however, seems indubitably to be that purity is a parti- cular moral disposition, the worth of which does not simply depend upon the consequences of a physical or intellectual kind. The possess- ion of it constitutes an important factor in self-respect.
