We judge all things in terms of our desires. “We do not strive for, wish, seek, or desire anything because we think it to be good; we judge a thing to be good because we . . . desire it.”123 “By good (bonum) I understand that which we certainly know to be useful to us.”
The Age of Louis XIV: The Story of Civilization, Volume VIII
