II. Passions and Moral Life
1767
In themselves passions are neither good nor evil. They are morally qualified
only to the extent that they effectively engage reason and will. Passions are
said to be voluntary, “either because they are commanded by the will or
because the will does not place obstacles in their way.”44 It
belongs to the perfection of the moral or human good that the passions be
governed by reason.45
