Let us now set about a more thorough investigation of the matter. Egoism is so deeply rooted a quality of all individuals in general,. that in order to rouse the activity of an individual being egoistical ends are the only ones upon which we can count with certainty. Certa. inly the species has an earlier, closer, and greater claim upon the individual than the perishable individuality itself. Yet when the individual has to act, and even make sacrificesfor the continuance and quality of the species the importance of the matter cannot be made. so comprehensible to his intellect, which is calculated merely with regard to individual ends, as to have its proportionate effect. Therefore in such a case nature can only attain its ends by implanting a certain illusion in the individual on account of which that which is only a good for the species appears to him as a good for himself, so that when he serves the species he imagines he is serving himself; in which process a mere chimera, which vanishes, inmediately afterwards, floats before him, and takes the place of a real thing as a motive. This illusion is instinct.
