An Essay Concerning Human Understanding Section S3
Section 330 of 1,114
Canonical reference B2.C20.S3
English
Project Gutenberg transcription of Locke author text
Pleasure and pain and that which causes them, - good and evil, are the hinges on which our passions turn. And if we reflect on ourselves, and observe how these, under various considerations, operate in us; what modifications or tempers of mind, what internal sensations (if I may so call them) they produce in us we may thence form to ourselves the ideas of our passions.
French
Pierre Coste · Pierre Mortier, Amsterdam, 1735, third edition
Le Plaiſir & la Douleur, & ce qui les produit, ſavoir, le Bien & le Mal, ſont les pivots ſur lesquels roulent toutes nos Paſſions, dont nous pourrons aiſément nous former des idées, ſi rentrant en nous-mêmes nous obſervons comment le Plaiſir & la Douleur agiſſent ſur notre Ame ſous différens égards ; quelques modifications ou dispoſitions d’Eſprit, & quelles ſenſations intérieures, ſi j’oſe ainſi parler, ils produiſent en nous.
