My claim here is that, as to the two characters of Erôs "intermediate" and "procreation", the former expresses its character of desire distinguished from its object-thing and that the latter is the purpose (not the object-thing) of this desire. And the crucial points in this formula are: 1) it is not "right opinion" but "philosopher" that exemplifies the "intermediate" between ignorance and wisdom which expresses the desire proper to Erôs; 2) the "procreation" which is the final purpose of Erôs is not a succession of things of the same kind but the action of procreation itself (i.e. the true virtue).
