**EmpiricistEthics_2023_001 **
With  the  empiricist  psychology,  which  has  an  inexhaust-
ible Hterature,  we  will  not  deal  here,  since  it  is  of  no  philo-
sophical interest.  Like  all  empiricisms,  it  does  not  show
any  development,  but  only  the  superimposition  of  shghtly
divergent  tendencies.  From  the  psychology  of  Mill,  which
remains  confined  within  the  immediate  reahty  of  sensation,
we  pass  to  the  naturalism  of  Spencer  and  his  followers,  who
wish  to  base  psychology  on  biology  and,  applying  the
Darwinian  principle  of  evolution,  attempt  to  explain  Mill's
incomprehensible  law  of  association  by  an  appeal  to  the
biological  concept  of  hereditary  transmission.
It  is  more  interesting  to  examine  the  empiricist  ethics,
which  offers  an  excellent  means  of  measuring  the  mental
and   moral  level   of   the   school.
The  empiricist  ethics  starts  with  a  conception  of  man  as
an  egoistic  being  differing  hardly  at  all  from  the  brute,
and  either  denies  the  whole  moral  aspect  of  spiritual  life,
as  Bentham  did  when  in  a  moment  of  depression  he  described
virtue  as  an  ens  rationis,  or,  what  is  worse,  it  tries  to  extract
altruism,  meaning  virtue,  out  of  egoism,  by  simply  playing
with  the  association  of  ideas.
The  least  inconsequent  of  these  moralists  was  Bentham
While  he  did  not  deny  the  existence  of  that  sphere  of  activity
which  transcends  the  limits  of  the  individual,  he  neverthe
less  refused  to  see  in  the  tendency  towards  the  advancement
of  the  general  wellbeing  anything  more  than  a  controlled
egoism.  In  his  psychological  crudity  Bentham  went  in  search
of  a  quantitative  formula  of  pleasure,  which  steered  a  middle
course  between  the  maximum  and  the  minimum  ;  as  though
one  could  weigh  human  interests  in  a  pair  of  scales.


**esthetic_ethical_judgments **
Between theoretical and zsthetic judgments there is
this difference: that the first give the cognition of
things and look to their value, and the second do not
consider the value and are limited to showing their
pleasure and pain. Many of the asthetic judgments


238 ANALYSIS OF DEFINITIONS


are made by ethical judgments which approve or dis-
approve of actions. Ethics entering into esthetics
cannot understand any imperative because an impera-
tive always implies a duty to do or to abstain from doing
something. Morality is therefore a formal concept and
cannot be reduced to an imperative, as Kant taught, but
is reducible to five practical model ideas; the idea of
freedom (the accord of the will with its own motives),
the idea of perfection (the harmony between the
extension and intension of our volitive activity), the
idea of benevolence (the agreement between one’s own
will and the wills of others), the idea of law (the har-
mony of several wills in respect to an object for the
prevention of a contest), and the idea of equity (the
accord between merit and recompense). If all these
forms of accord are present, there will be anethical judg-
ment of approval, and if not there will be one of dis-
approval. Such models act also as motives. From
the five practical ideas come five social ideas: from the
idea of perfection comes the system of education, from
benevolence the administrative system, from law comes
the juristic system, from equity the system of retribu-
tion. Now it is evident that the doctrine of Herbart,
shown in his “Allgemeine Praktische Philosophie,” is
founded on the most exaggerated and absolute formal-
ism excluding every substantial content from the ethical
principle. Ethics are deprived of the duty of action.

### Answer ###
Catholic missions in Siam (Thailand) and Malacca were significant for their efforts in evangelism, education, and publishing religious materials. In Siam, the missionary activities were overseen by the Seminario delle Missioni Straniere in Paris, which provided both personnel and financial support<ref name="DB-IT-MISSIONI-SIAM-1836-001">"Il seminario delle missioni straniere di Parigi fornisce di soggetti i due vicariati di Siam, e manda loro sussidii."</ref>. The missions in Siam were headed by figures such as Monsignor Battista Pallegoix, who served as Vicar Apostolic from 1841<ref name="DB-IT-MISSIONI-SIAM-1836-001">"Battista Pallegoix, alunno del seminario delle missioni straniere in Parigi, vescovo di Mallo in partibus a' 3 giugno 1836, e vicario apostolico a' 10 settembre 1841."</ref>.

In Siam, the missionaries established several educational institutions, including a college in Bakok with the capacity for twenty-four students, and schools in cities like Chantabun and the capital, where they instructed both boys and girls<ref name="DB-IT-MISSIONI-SIAM-1836-001">"Esiste in Bakok un collegio cape di ventiquattro alunni: questa città e Chantabun hanno scuole pei fanciulli d'ambho i sessi. Nella detta capitale evvi una casa dove vivono coi lavori delle loro mani sedici vergini, che istruiscono gratuitamente."</ref>. Additionally, the missionaries printed religious materials in multiple languages, including Chinese, English, Portuguese, Siamese, and Malay<ref name="DB-IT-MISSIONI-SIAM-1836-001">"Vi è una stamperia dove s'imprimono dottrine, catechismi ed altre opere già approvate in Europa; edi catechismi vi si trovano tradotti nella: lingua portoghese, inglese, cinese, siamese e malacense."</ref>.

In Malacca, the Catholic missions covered a vast region, including parts of the peninsula of Malacca, the kingdoms of Queda and Siamese, provinces such as Merguy, Tenasserimo, Tavai, and Martaban<ref name="DB-IT-MISSIONI-SIAM-1836-001">"La giurisdizione di questo vicariato apostolico comprende l'isola di Sincapur, la regione di Malacca dal lido orientale all’occidentale, il regno di Queda, le provincie di Merguy, Tenasserito, Tavai, Mar taban, eccettuata Moulmain spettante al vicariato apostolico di Ava e Pegù."</ref>. The missionaries also engaged in significant printing activities, producing catechisms and other religious works that were translated into various languages to better serve the local communities<ref name="DB-IT-MISSIONI-SIAM-1836-001">"Vi è una stamperia dove s'imprimono dottrine, catechismi ed altre opere già approvate in Europa; edi catechismi vi si trovano tradotti nella: lingua portoghese, inglese, cinese, siamese e malacense."</ref>.

These missions played a critical role in spreading Christianity and promoting education in these regions, contributing to the cultural and religious diversity of Siam and Malacca during the period.
