But the moral sense is really more uniform.

For, in every nation, it is the benevolent actions and affections that are approved, and wherever there is an error of fact, it is the reason, not the moral sense, that is at fault.

There are no cases of nations where moral approval is restricted to the pursuit of private interest.

The chief causes of variety of moral approbation are three: (1) Different notions of happiness and the means of promoting it, whereby much that is peculiar in national customs, &c., is explained, without reflecting upon the moral sense.
(2) The larger or more confined field on which men consider the tendencies of their actions--sect, party, country, &c.

(3) Different opinions about the divine commands, which are allowed to over-ride the moral sense.
