Default Re: what does it all mean?

If he is that eminent, then no, he not trying to mystify his readers. He expects them to know and understand the terminologies he is using.

I still find "the ruse of desire" an odd phrase, unless there is something in the preceding text to explain it. Extracting sentences from complex texts can sometime mean it is more difficult to explain content and intent. Could you look at your source and see if it can help to provide more context?
