To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I, of course, do not mean to say that there are no circumstances in which it would be right to ignore family ties. But I do mean to say that the preferential treatment of one's own family is not to be justified by the belief that in this way the greatest quantity of pleasure or goodness will be produced on the whole in somewhat the same way as in Adam Smith's scheme of things universal self- interest was held to work to the common good. It wins approval because we can only love a few people, an...d intense devotion is held better than a weak diffused stream of benevolence. Even in matters of opinion this intensity of feeling is often held to condone positive mistakes ; the gross partiality of a mother is often held more estimable than the more reasonable but slightly contemptuous attitude of a reflective uncle. In action certainly similar affection may not only condone mistakes 1 It would, I think, be untrue to say that a father who did nothing for his children still loved them as much as ever.
