How can this be so when uses are so multiple and individual: if my needs
can spring as much from my stomach as from fancy, how can they be satisfied
by the intrinsic properties of a thing?
In this there is the singular of the intrinsic and the multiple of uses-
surely a contradiction- or is it one that can be dialectically overcome...?
