I see this as a thesis about what is necessary for a human being to make the transition from ‘having a desire' to ‘acting on it'. As such, I consider the widely held view that ‘having a desire' involves being focused on the world, and not on ourselves or on the desire. I try to show how this view is connected with a denial of any deep distinction between reason and inclination. I then argue for an alternative view of what ‘having a desire' involves, one according to which it involves being focused both on the world and on ourselves. I show how this view fits naturally with the Kantian distinction between reason and inclination, accounts for independent intuitions about ‘having a desire', and supports the Incorporation Thesis. I then make some further suggestions about how we might conceive of the object of incorporation.
