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

12946	The idea of the will includes the understanding [Leibniz]
	Full Idea: The idea of the will includes that of the understanding.
	From: Gottfried Leibniz (New Essays on Human Understanding [1704], 2.06)
	A reaction: A nice remark, although I am not sure that I agree with it. The understanding (if we allow such talk of faculties, with which I have no problem) sometimes lags behind and sometimes forges ahead of the will. What else is weakness of the will?
