IPML Chapter 5 Note 9 (original) (raw)

Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation

Jeremy Bentham

Chapter V, Footnote #09
No pains proper of power

There seem to be no positive pains to correspond to the pleasures of power. The pains that a man may feel from the want or the loss of power in as far as power is distinguished from all other sources of pleasure, seem to be nothing more than pains of privation.
