Betterment Desire Teleology
"Some desires are by and in accordance with nature, whereas others are without a foundation in dance with nature -- they are 'empty' desires. An account of these kinds of desires ought to provide knowledge about how to refer every choice and every avoidance to the goals of keeping the body healthy and soul free of perturbations -- because this is indeed the ultimate purpose of a blessed life" Letter to Meneoceus: Pleasure and Pain, page 51-52 "We do everything for the sake of being free of pain and mental distress" Letter to Meneoceus: Pleasure and Pain, page 52 |
