'We desire all and only those things we conceive to be good; we
avoid what we conceive to be bad.' This slogan was once the
standard view of the relationship between desire or motivation and
rational evaluation. Many critics have rejected this scholastic
formula as either trivial or wrong. It appears to be trivial if we
just define the good as 'what we want', and wrong if we consider
apparent conflicts between what we seem to want and what we seem to
think is good. In Appearances of the Good, Sergio Tenenbaum argues
that the old slogan is both significant and right, even in cases of
apparent conflict between our desires and our evaluative
judgements. Maintaining that the good is the formal end of
practical inquiry in much the same way as truth is the formal end
of theoretical inquiry, he provides a fully unified account of
motivation and evaluation.
