As Bernard says in On Loving God (XIV 38), such integration is what the ordering of love is all about: "Cupidity in turn is set in right order by the arrival of charity, which moves one to reject evil altogether and prefer what is better to what is good,

Gibbard-sophisticated: When A judges that B ought to [phi], that consists in A's conditionally

If Santas were right, it would border on sophistry for Socrates to conclude the argument by saying of Meno's definition of virtue as "the desire for good things and the power to secure them" that "[t]he
desiring part of this statement is common to everybody, and one man is no better than another in this." (46) For Socrates to respond to Meno's claim that people differ in respect of the actual objects of desire by insisting that they all have the same intended object is, at best, a non sequitur.

If we do see the other through our desire, we nonetheless see ourselves, too--and we see ourselves
desiring. "I am the bright mirror of desire," a woman tells her companion in "The Many Tenses of Wanting" (93).
Intentions provide provisionally fixed points in our deliberation; if I intend to have pasta for dinner then I can quit worrying about whether to have Chinese and begin thinking about what kind of pasta to fix.(1) Merely
desiring to have pasta would not provide such a fixed point, since I might desire to have pasta but not be committed to doing so, and instead intend to have Chinese.
