To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This result is always to be sought for in kind. Spiritual causes must have spiritual consequences. The •^; reward of virtue is, therefore, not bread but happiness. And i* this is the greatest reward. "What nothing earthly gives or can destroy, The soul's calm sunshine, and the heartfelt joy, ^ Is virtue's prize." (Ibid., IF.) One self-approving hour of such outweighs years of other recognition. Not only is this true according to Pope, but with Shaftesbury he further maintains that "Virtue alone... is ^ happiness below. (Ibid.) With this evidence of Shaftesbury's doctrine of the whole, together with other subordinate teachings logically derived therefrom employed by Pope, which might be even more ex- tensively illustrated, the judgment of Herder (cf. Pope and Shaftesbury, Vater, 22), is justified, that "ohne die Moralis- ten haette Pope die besten Verse seines Essay on Man schwerlich geschrieben." Digitized by VjOOQ IC COMPARATIVE VALUE OF SHAFTESBURY'S TEACHING C. Having now Shaftesbury's teaching of the whole in mind, we sec at once the irreconcilable difference between him and Hobbes in the nature and value of their respective ethical positions.
