L’uomo commette spesso delle colpe le quali, benché conseguenze della condizione in cui lo ha posto la società, non sono punto meno riprovevoli: ma la sua colpevolezza è sempre in ragione della conoscenza che egli ha del bene e del male. Quindi l’uomo illuminato, che commette una semplice ingiustizia, è agli occhi di Dio più colpevole dell’ignorante
selvaggio, che si abbandona ai propri istinti.
