Writing an essay is an exercise in self-knowledge. I provide individual private consultation on academic performance. If you read for an MA, a DBA, or a PhD feel free to contact me for suggestions on how to study texts, how to articulate your ideas, and how to engage with advanced research
"I may like to continue being around, without having a definite view for how long (to infinity? under any circumstances? no matter what?), or in what particular shape or form -as we say- I would like myself to be. Moreover, it is not clear to me that it is a conceptual requirement for one's desiring oneself to be in the future, that one has another desire about the particular things one will be engaged with in the future, to which the former desire is a means to that end. I may want to continue to exist, without wanting that, so that another want of mine, say visiting Boston, be realized. Being around is not something people do, or that, literally speaking, something they may plan to do, so that some other thing gets done. Rather, being themselves around is a precondition for them, themselves, doing anything at all..."
