Prichard’s argument
...in caring for other people, I do so because I think that it will make my own life happier, then it would seem that it is not really a concern for others which motivates me, but a concern for myself. From the above standpoint, the action then ceases to be morally admirable.
Sayfa 57
Platonic claim
If one's emotions and desires are not guided by reason, one lives in a fantasy world. If one's rational capacities are not motivated by emotions and desires, one lapses into a state of meaninglessness.
Sayfa 25 - Oxford U.P
According to Hume, what makes various qualities 'virtues' is that they are useful or agreeable, either to their possessor or to others.

Aristotetle’s influence upon Christian Theology
This possible development of Aristotelian ethics was in fact taken up by Catholic theology, most notably by the medieval philosopher Thomas Aquinas. It then becomes the basis of a so-called 'natural law' morality. Two examples will illustrate the role of 'function' in Catholic morality. Since human beings have been created by God to live and to perpetuate their own being, suicide is wrong. And since human beings have been given sexuality in order to reproduce and perpetuate the species, contraception, frustrating this proper purpose of sexuality, is wrong.

Hume
His claim is merely that everyone is to some degree affected by other people’s happiness or suffering.
