We do not infer a character to be virtuous, because it pleases: But in feeling that it pleases after such a particular manner, we in effect feel that it is virtuous. At first sight it may be thought, that this must resolve into some of the preceding titles of authority. Is it a pure a priori, or is it an empirical intuition?
