"The 'Man of Desire' is the quintessential dynamic and mystical work of the 'Unknown Philosopher'. It is a work that is not addressed to those who seek to suppress their existential concerns with the ready-made answers of a systematic philosophical doctrine: that is, with conjectures and assumptions. But it is addressed to those who have realized that it is completely futile to speculate about Truth or to attempt to define it intellectually, to formulate it or to describe it in words alone. While it would make sense to seek it, to search for it, to yearn for it, to love it; because then we elevate ourselves towards It. Thus, this book does not contain 'teachings'; it contains initiatory discourse - a discourse that can help man traverse the 'cloud of ignorance' that covers the Divine Truth like a veil and approach It in the only way that befits It: through the heart that loves."
