In the tapestry of human existence, desire weaves an intricate web, connecting the depths of our hearts to the boundless realm of possibility. It is a force that shapes our destinies, propels us forward on a tireless quest for fulfillment, and leaves an enduring imprint upon our souls. Yet, the nature of desire remains an enigma, an ever-shifting landscape that defies easy definition. It can be a gentle whisper, beckoning us towards hidden treasures, or a raging fire, consuming us with its intensity. It can be a source of exquisite joy, propelling us to heights of ecstasy, or a relentless torment, dragging us into the depths of despair. This book embarks on a journey to explore the multifaceted nature of desire, delving into its depths and ascending to its heights. We will uncover the hidden threads that connect our longings to our identities, our relationships, and our place in the universe. We will navigate the labyrinth of the human heart, uncovering the masks we wear to conceal our deepest desires and unveiling the vulnerabilities that make us truly human. Through introspection, storytelling, and philosophical inquiry, this book sheds light on the complex interplay of desire, longing, and fulfillment. It explores the ways in which our desires shape our choices, our relationships, and our understanding of ourselves. It delves into the intricate dance between desire and destiny, uncovering the lessons hidden within both triumph and heartbreak. With eloquence and insight, this book invites readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery, to embrace the transformative power of desire, and to find meaning and purpose in the relentless pursuit of their heart's deepest longings. It is a meditation on the human condition, a celebration of the indomitable spirit that resides within us all. If you like this book, write a review!
The Origin of Oughtness

How come we ought to do things? Current metanormative debates often suffer from the fact that authors implicitly use adequacy conditions not shared by their opponents. This leads to an unsatisfying dialectical gridlock (Chang): One author accuses her opponents of not being able to account for stuff she judges essential, but the opponents do not think this to be a major flaw. In an attempt to meet the problem of gridlock head-on, the current investigation approaches oughtness differently. I start with the introduction of a grounding framework for thinking about oughtness that allows a lucid presentation of the views on the market. It soon becomes clear that one necessary part of any plausible assessment of accounts of oughtness is a discussion of their adequacy conditions. I continue with a detailed evaluation of four different accounts, as presented by Halbig (2007), Schroeder (2007), Stemmer (2006), and Scanlon (2014). My main result is that desire-based or Humean theories of oughtness are more plausible because desire-independent accounts fail to explain something crucial: the for-me character of oughtness. Based on the insights gathered thus far, I then develop a new Humean theory – metaethical conativism – and defend it against some historically influential objections.
The Soul of Desire
Desire and beauty go hand in hand. But both our craving to be known and our ability to create beauty have been marred by shame and trauma, collapsing our imagination for what God has for us. Weaving together neuroscience and spiritual formation, psychiatrist Curt Thompson presents a powerful picture of what it means to be human.
