How does Stewart show the beneficial tendency of partial evils? On what grounds does he conclude that the amount of human misery and vice is overrated?

How does Butler establish his assertion?

7. If the dictates of Conscience and Self-love seem to be opposed in any particular case, how does Butler decide which should prevail?

8. What do we mean by the Character of a Man, according to Butler ? Can the existence of character be reconciled with the merit or demerit of actions-and if so, how?

9. How do those who regard Virtue as conduct calculated to promote Happiness differ from the Epicureans?

The primary question at issue between them and a follower of Butler with respect to Virtue is the same as that which Butler states to have been debated with the Epicureans?

In reference to the practice of Virtue, Epicureanism is free from a difficulty belonging to the theory mentioned above?

10. How would Stewart and Butler define Virtue ?

Hutcheson differed from Butler in reference to the actions which may be regarded as virtuous ?
