The Metaphysical Desire, Right?

Tyler Little: My reading of Gerard suggests that we do have a physical desire. He says once we calm down our metaphysical desire, we are able to access it. The logic of metaphysical desire is to secure an object associated with a model who we consider to have a heightened degree of being. Tyler Little: We want to be distant from objects associated with models that have a deficiency of being. And all we have to do to be authentic is to leave the group, right, to peel back these social layers. All I think of romanticism is that it confuses difference for authenticity.
