CHAPTER V

HAPPINESS AND DUTY

2. But no such complete coincidence seems to result from a consideration either of the Legal Sanctions of Duty: 163-166

3. or of the Social Sanctions: 166-170

4. or of the Internal Sanctions: even if we consider not merely isolated acts of duty, but a virtuous life as a whole. 170-175
