This push for simplicity and manageability results in a sort of ersatz clarity, where we have a seemingly straightforward account of desire, but such an account does not actually do justice to the complexity of the concept, and more significantly, leads to a flattened and sterile view of ethics and human living. cache/6d56zw15k7w.txt txt/6d56zw15k7w.txt
