a train of circumstances not directly included in it; taken abstractedly。 In itself it consisted in merely
presenting a small flame to a small portion of a beam。 Events not involved in that simple act follow
of themselves。 The part of the beam which was set fire to is connected with its remote portions;
the beam itself is united with the woodwork of the house generally; and this with other houses; so
that a wide conflagration ensues; which destroys the goods and chattels of many other persons
besides his against whom the act of revenge was first directed; perhaps even costs not a few men
their lives。 This lay neither in the deed abstractedly; nor in the design of the man who mitted it。
But the action has a further general bearing。 In the design of the doer it was only revenge executed
against an individual in the destruction of his property; but it is moreover a crime; and that involves
punishment also。 This may not have been present to the mind of the perpetrator; still less in his
intention; but his deed itself; the general principles it calls into play; its substantial content entails it。
By this example I wish only to impress on you the consideration; that in a simple act; something
farther may be implicated than lies in the intention and consciousness of the agent。 The example
before us involves; however; this additional consideration; that the substance of the act;
consequently we may say the act itself; recoils upon the perpetrator; — reacts upon him with
destructive tendency。 This union of the two extremes — the embodiment of a general idea in the
form of direct reality; and the elevation of a speciality into connection with universal truth — is
brought to pass; at first sight; under the conditions of an utter diversity of nature between the two;
and an indifference of the one extreme towards the other。 The aims which the agent set before
them are limited and special; but it must be remarked that the agents themselves are intelligent
thinking beings。 The purport of their desires is interwoven with general; essential considerations
of justice; good; duty; &c; for mere desire — volition in its rough and savage forms — falls not
within the scene and sphere of Universal History。 Those general considerations; which form at the
same time a norm for directing aims and actions; have determinate purport; for such an abstraction
as “good for its own sake;” has no place in living reality。 If men are to act; they must not only
intend the Good; but must have decided for themselves whether this or that particular thing is a
Good。 What special course of action; however; is good or not; is determined; as regards the
ordinary contingencies of private life; by the laws and customs of a State; and here no great
difficulty is presented。 Each individual has his position; he knows on the whole what a just;
honourable course of conduct is。 As to ordinary; private relations; the assertion that it is difficult to
choose the right and good; — the regarding it as the mark of an exalted morality to find difficulties
and raise scruples on that score — may be set down to an evil or perverse will; which seeks to
evade duties not in themselves of a perplexing nature; or; at any rate; to an idly reflective habit of
mind — where a feeble will affords no sufficient exercise to the faculties; — leaving them therefore
to find occupation within themselves; and to expend themselves on moral self…adulation。
§ 31
It is quite otherwise with the prehensive relations that History has to do with。 In this sphere are
presented those momentous collisions between existing; acknowledged duties; laws; and rights;
and those contingencies which are adverse to this fixed system; — which assail and even destroy
its foundations and existence; whose tenor may nevertheless seem good;… on the large scale
