| Definition Of: |
Will
the manifestation of reason in its practical form (see practical). The two German words, 'WillkŸr' and 'Wille' can both be translated in English as 'will'. WillkŸr refers to the faculty of choice, which for Kant is just one (empirical) function of the more fundamental faculty of practical reason (=ÃWille).
A psychological phenomenon with a force-like character which is evident in our acting or trying to act and is necessary for these types of events. <Discussion> <References> Chris Eliasmith
