The Possible Desire

About The Possible Desire

Desire is made up of two tendencies that can contrast antinomically or, on the contrary, can combine harmoniously: the tendency to fulfill itself and the tendency to perpetuate. Desire is desire for something, for what satisfies it, and at the same time desire to exist as desire, desire for desiring. These two tendencies are antinomically opposed if desire extinguishes with its fulfillment. As the desire for something extinguishes with its fulfillment, the desire for desiring remains unfulfilled. And, on the contrary, the fulfillment of the desire for desiring implies that the desire for something remains unfulfilled. But if desire coexists with the act of fulfillment these tendencies can combine harmoniously: desire can be fulfilled not at the expense of its tendency to persist but thanks to it.
