Now here is a departure from the first principle of true ethics. Here we find ideas of moral wrong and moral right associated with something else than beneficial action. The consequent is, we lose sight of the real basis of morals, and substitute a false one.

  • -- Frances Wright 弗朗西丝·莱特

这与真正道德的第一原则背道而驰。在这里,我们发现道德错误和道德正确的观念与有益行为之外的其他事物有关。其结果是,我们忽视了道德的真正基础,而代之以虚假的基础。
