  1. The possibility of altruism.Thomas Nagel - 1970 - Oxford,: Clarendon P..
    Just as there are rational requirements on thought, there are rational requirements on action.

Even if the desires for external things were a prerequisite for obtaining pleasure, nothing would follow about why people desire external things.
