"Desire" has the meaning of intention and is, just like any intention, already self-referential. >Ethics/Harman. I 191 FrankfurtVsHarman: risk of blurring the distinction between the goal (s) and the means, and thus committing oneself to the assumption that goals are equipped with means in a certain way and that’s how we come across them. --- Schwarz I 185 Value/ethics/Lewis/Schwarz: values are not inherent in the validated events, but in us.
