Believing itself to be in the world and coming to learn something about this world by way of the world's own discourses, the self goes in search of a unique definition of itself. It would like to logically triangulate itself over human meanings, over cultural realities, putting into play the tokens that mark crossings points between the desires it finds inside its body and those it finds outside it. To be uniquely defined, in a compact way seems to be a generally much desired, as for example to be a 'name'. It's hard to imagine such a definition achieving anything like the goal it sets for itself, and it would be laughable if not so common. The error it points to is in where we look to in order to acquire our notions of real being.
