To want is to not -have: (cid:272)hope(cid:374)hauer does(cid:374)"t des(cid:272)ri(cid:271)e desires as (cid:862)leadi(cid:374)g to(cid:863) or (cid:862)resulti(cid:374)g i(cid:374)(cid:863) sufferi(cid:374)g. (cid:862)(cid:271)ut (cid:449)h(cid:455) is desire sufferi(cid:374)g? (cid:863) Molly peacock: he does(cid:374)"t thi(cid:374)k its all that (cid:271)ad, molly peacock loves desire , and she does(cid:374)"t (cid:272)are if it i(cid:374)(cid:448)ol(cid:448)es sufferi(cid:374)g or (cid:374)ot. S and p agree on a lesser claim: we humans are constituted to desire: the descriptions are not the main point of the contention in the reading, the pres(cid:272)riptio(cid:374)s, o(cid:374) the other ha(cid:374)d .
