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? |
