20. Action / B. Preliminaries of Action / 2. Willed Action / a. Will to Act

23233	The will is awareness of one of our inner natural forces [Fichte]
	Full Idea: To will is to be immediately conscious of the activity of one of our inner natural forces.
	From: Johann Fichte (The Vocation of Man [1800], 1)
	A reaction: A more Nietzschean view would be that to will is to be conscious of the victor among our inner natural drives. It can't just be awareness of one force, because the will feels conflicts.
