Philosophy of desire


Interviewer: Andre, tell me, what is desire in philosophical term?

Andre: Desire in philosophical term lead us to the infamous topic on “Free Will” when one comes to choosing a course of action from among a variety of things. Which kind of the free will and why is it so important to know what to choose and how to choose.

Philosophers have discussed, and argued about this question for over two thousand years, because there was a virulent argument between philosophers and particular oriental schools and mystics who believe that “desire” should be annihilated.

Interviewer: How interesting, what exactly do you mean, can you elaborate on that point please?

Andre: according to their teaching, of which I totally disagree with, they believe we are somehow pre-destined, and employing any desire was regarded as something which interrupt the flow of one’s inner peace. “cease to desire, and be at peace” is to my mind unproductive, and quite self defeating to success of any kind.

What is funny about their teaching is this, though, they claim they can annihilate desire, but when you see it from a logic angle, you discover that , while they try to annihilate desire, the desirous person is in fact in the process of desiring! That is to annihilate, the desirous person in desiring to change something. It sounds all contradictory and therefore shall not pass the barrier of justification.

Interviewer: I can see the logical fallacy, but before we get lost in the debate of such fascinating subject, tell me, why is it important for the reader to secure understand of the philosophy of desire? Do you not think that readers might get confused with such complex ideas?
Andre:

It is important to secure full understanding of the underlying philosophical origins on the debate of “desire” and “choice” before moving on the psychological aspect of “Desire’ this book is written in layman language, to help my readers access philosophy, psychology and Neuro-science in a comfortable way. Also, people who value ideas, and clarity of definition, will appreciate the meaning of desire, because most of our desires, are in conflict with who we truly are. Readers will find some of the concept if not intriguing, then very useful.

Interviewer: Why is it so important to secure full understanding then?

Andre: Question seems to me to necessitate that it is.

I think that many and or most of us ,especially the less aware, act with little or no understanding of their own action at all.

You are aware of course of the effects of culture, media, and socialisation and other outside factors as well as biological determinacy on our levels of understanding. The things they choose to understand powerfully govern the more aware among us.

Often the extent to which we launch a discovery is governed by the extent to which we deem it to be functional in our lives. In short we need to make choices and do. In so doing we place internal designs upon the level to which we choose to understand.

It is also said that we seek verification for our own ideas (not that we can own ideas). In the same way I met with you to develop my own interest and hopefully yours too!

Our understanding will be driven by this set of conditions. Then there is enlightenment of those lovely flashes of inspiration that hit us every so often. If you work them into the equation and try open up a space between minds; the understanding and awareness can and often does soar to far loftier heights. Introduce the metaphysical and you're soon flying!


Interviewer: so you are saying that it is important to understand concepts before we actually decide to become successful, and you seem to be supporting desire as “ free will” must be exercised or acted upon?
Andre:

absolutely!, I have answered why ‘understanding’ is crucial. Let me elaborate briefly on desire. In the conscious mind this attraction toward its kinship we call desire, if there was no attraction of any sort, there would be no desire.

We are attracted to ‘knowledge’ we all want to know, it is innate, and always we will be desirous species. We desire something but we also desire something that is better than what we already have of it.

However, our desire for knowledge may lead us to errors when choosing what is best, so while trying to walk our desire we may take wrong direction, are we to blame ‘desire’ itself, or our mistaken belief of what it is to reach satisfaction? While some mystics believe that ‘desire’ causes discomfort and disturb our peace, I believe it is the other way around.

When our desires are not met, unrest and dissatisfaction, if not frustration, will follow until its true kinship is found; however, as soon as we realise this, the law of attraction at once proclaims itself forthwith, and creates that better condition, the images of our imagination of which first guided our thoughts.

Interviewer: wow, compelling facts! But let me be more of a devil advocate here, is it attraction that we should employ or desire, I am bit confused of this distinction.

Andre: desire is one thing; attraction is another. When I am attracted to an object of my imagination, it is simply attraction, ‘passive desire’ when I decide to manifest that which I visualised, it is ‘active desire’ desire to act on that which I am attracted to.

Active desire is the cause of all feelings, which in turn, lead to action. Thus we have “free will”. Active desire is the motivating factor of all things, and it engages the desirous person to believe that the ‘passive desire’ that which I am attracted to, must be manifested by taking action, this is called again, I repeat, ‘active desire’ both passive and active desire are the organism of life itself, this free will must therefore be carefully understood clearly, trained and directed to develop to its highest perfection to help the desirous persons reach ultimate success and supreme fulfilment.

Interviewer: I can see the point and importance of both ‘understanding’ and the importance of ‘ desire’ The desire and its performance are bound together as cause and effect; and when we wake up from ignorance, and realise the law of their sequence, we shall be more than ever stupefied with the supreme importance of Desire as the great organism of Life!

unfortunately , we are coming to the end of this fascinating chapter interview of the philosophy of desire, I tell you what, I can’t wait to discuss with you the ‘psychology of desire’ next week. final question Andre, what is for the reader, aims and objectives please?


Andre: Aim: This chapter on the Philosophy of desire will engage and unable readers to see a brief construct of desire, with a view to understand the philosophical debate around it. Readers will also discover what motivate or Di-motivate a person to move to action once an attraction ignites the subject of desire.


Objective: at the end of this chapter, readers will come to an understanding of the philosophical context of desire, how beginning readers in philosophy debate it, and stimulate readers cognition to understand what moves a subject to reach ultimate success and fulfilment.

Readers will be able to identify and differentiate between active and inactive (passive) desires. I use ‘inactive and passive’ interchangeably. Readers will learn how to intensify their desired objects to meet their desired outcome.

Interviewer: Well done, I am afraid that is all we have time for. Andre, thank you very much indeed for your patience and time. Until then, have an inspiring week and best of luck with your book.

Andre: Thank you. :)
