Although man, as just remarked, has no special instincts to tell him how to aid his fellow- men, he still has the impulse, and with his improved intellectual faculties would naturally be much guided in this respect by reason and experience. Instinctive sympathy would also cause him to value highly the approbation of his fellows; for, as Mr. 254.), the love of praise and the strong feeling of glory, and the still stronger horror of scorn windows mail download and infamy, "are due to the windows mail download workings of sympathy." Consequently man would be influenced in the highest degree by the wishes, approbation, and blame of his fellow-men, as expressed by their gestures and language.

Thus the social instincts, which windows mail web browser free downloads download must have been acquired by man in a very rude state, and probably even by his early ape-like progenitors, still give the impulse to some of his best actions; but his actions are in a higher degree determined by the expressed wishes and judgment of windows mail download his fellow-men, and unfortunately very often by his own strong selfish windows mail download desires. But as love, sympathy windows mail download and self-command become strengthened by habit, and as the power of reasoning becomes clearer, so that man can value justly the judgments of windows mail download his fellows, he will feel himself impelled, apart from any transitory pleasure or pain, to certain lines of conduct.

He might then declare--not that any barbarian or uncultivated man could thus think--I am the supreme judge of my own conduct, and in the words of Kant, I will not in my own person violate the dignity of humanity.

THE MORE ENDURING SOCIAL INSTINCTS CONQUER THE LESS PERSISTENT INSTINCTS. We have not, however, as yet considered the main point, on which, from our present point of view, the whole question of the moral sense turns. Why should a man feel that windows mail download he ought to obey one instinctive desire rather than another? Why is he bitterly regretful, if he has yielded to a strong sense of self-preservation, and has not risked his life to save that of a fellow- creature?

or why does he regret having stolen food from hunger?

It is evident in the first place, that with mankind the instinctive impulses have different degrees of strength; a savage will risk his own life to save that of a member of the same community, but will be wholly indifferent about windows mail download a stranger: a young and timid mother urged by the maternal instinct will, without a moment's hesitation, run the greatest danger for her own infant, but not for a mere fellow-creature. Nevertheless many a civilised man, or even windows youtube download free mail download boy, who never before risked his life for another, but full of courage and sympathy, has windows mail download disregarded the instinct of self-preservation, and windows mail download plunged at once into a torrent to save a drowning man, though a stranger.

In this case man is impelled by the same instinctive motive, which made the heroic little American monkey, formerly windows mail download described, save his keeper, by attacking the great and dreaded baboon. Such actions as the above appear to download dvd player be the simple result windows mail download of the greater strength of the social or maternal instincts rather than that of any other instinct or motive; for they are performed too instantaneously for reflection, or for pleasure or hotmail messenger download pain to be windows mail download felt at the time; though, if prevented by any cause, distress or free soft ware download even misery might be felt.
