Examine it in all lights, and see if you can find that matter of fact, or real existence, which you call vice.

 Examine it in all lights, and see if you can find that matter of fact, or real existence, which you call vice. SECT. VII OF VICE AND VIRTUE But can there be any difficulty in proving, that vice and virtue are not matters of fact, whose existence we can infer by reason? Take any action allowed to be vicious: Wilful murder, for instance. Now, as a like uncertainty and variety of causes take place, even in natural objects, and produce a like error in our judgment, if that tendency to produce error were the very essence of vice and immorality, it should follow, that even inanimate objects might be vicious and immoral. The very essence of virtue, according to this hypothesis, is to produce pleasure and that of vice to give pain.
